Delivering Climate-adapted Buildings at No Extra Cost

Work With Us

Celebrating 25 Years of Success

We’ve learned a lot in 25 years as a client-centered firm focused on designing zero energy and ultra-efficient buildings, all at no extra cost. We know how to actually get things built in today’s regulatory environment. Our clients have trusted us to introduce innovative systems and local, sustainable materials like straw bale into civic, commercial and residential buildings. We’re grateful for our team, which is diverse, technically-skilled, and problem-solving.

We Design Resilient Places for Our Changing World

Indigo has been a sustainability consultant to the State of California, providing design services for ZNE, LEED and commissioning CxA. Our design heritage for energy-efficient ZNE buildings continues, leveraging 50 years of passive solar research by Indigo principal Jon Hammond, whose early work formed a basis for California's Title-24 building code.
