Architecture for a Healthy Planet
About us
Sustainable was created in 2009 with a vision to fight climate change through transforming our built environment with creative design. We believe that our homes and workplaces should be healthy, comfortable, efficient, and above all beautiful spaces to be in. Making, maintaining, and using our buildings should be a pleasure, and a benefit to both the people in our lives and the planet we all share. We respond to our Clients needs and wishes with designs that respect the location, orientation, natural and cultural features of the site. Applying our creative design and experience to your project, we strive to build no more than what you need. Our Clients usually find that they can actually build less, but thus afford better quality as a result of our design work. We take great care to create beautiful, healthy indoor environments. We avoid known toxic materials and will always recommend the environmentally preferable solution. When there are cost implications to our choices, we will be clear about your options and offer alternatives to suit your budget. Ultimately, we believe that great design should be green design and there is no need to choose between them.

In Canada, September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation–also known as Orange Shirt Day. At Sustainable we will be honouring the day with time off from work…but not for merry-making. We will use this time off from our busy lives to reflect and to remember. As with our staff, we encourage you, your family, and your organization to: 1. Read and Re-read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, 2. Learn About Indigenous History and the Residential School System, 3. Identify and Acknowledge the Territory Where We Live, 4. Listen to and Learn from the Indigenous Peoples and Communities Around Us, 5. Attend a National Truth and Reconciliation Week Virtual Event, 6. Explore Indigenous Voices, 7. Support and Volunteer with Indigenous Non-profits, and 8. Support Indigenous creators and businesses.
