PH Design Services - Truly a Collaborative Effort.
We’ll educate you about all that is GREEN while you educate us about your lifestyle. Together, we’ll understand your needs and desires and design specifically to them. The result will be YOUR GREEN Home; a healthier, less impacting, less expensive to operate, more valuable and “perfectly suited to you” home. Imagine the Possibilities!
Our primary objective is to assist you in understanding the features, benefits and positive impacts you will experience by considering GREEN alternatives.
Focusing on the following:
Site positioning: Understanding your lot and how we can best position the home to take advantage of the following on a daily or seasonal basis:
- Passive Solar (use of the sun for natural warming the home)
- Window Placement and sizing (energy loss or savings & natural light considerations)
- Wind-Block (positioning the garage between the north winds and the home)
- Shade Protection (for outdoor activity areas or commonly use areas inside the home.
- Water Shed or Water Run-off (for either collection of or avoidance of site issues)
Material Selections: Understanding your style, your family activities and concerns allow us to direct you to those products which will be best suited to provide beauty, performance and insure sustainability.
