How We Design For People

Architecture is for people.  As we meet the physical and programmatic needs of our clients and users, TerraLogos strives to connect people with each other and with the natural environment.  That’s what “green architecture” is really about:  creating healthy, livable communities where all people can work, play and learn, together creating a sustainable future. 

We begin each project by listening to people.  Interactive workshops, charrettes, brainstorming sessions and on-line communication tools help us hear you before we evaluate and formulate solutions.  Our approach to your project is designed to get everyone engaged and fluent in sustainable thinking.  Education is part of our process, and we are always learning!

The classical Roman architect Vitruvius wrote, “Architecture is about fitness, commodiousness and delight.”  We interpret this to mean that architecture is in the service of its inhabitants.  It needs to function well, with artfully arranged spaces that exist in harmony with the  physical site.  Architecture should inspire and nourish our souls.
