We begin each architectural project by investigating the unique environmental conditions of each building site, with the development of flexible and adaptable strategies of design that maintain a consistent focus on environmental improvement and sustainability of the building property and surrounding site's ecology  for variations to its features of scale, its rhythms of  light, and its well-being qualities including natural earthly vibrations to enhance each project's life-style design.  ​The research in these areas emphasize two basic scales of basic scales of architectural ecology: building and landscape.

​

Permaculture Design is an ecological bridge between building and landscape,and might be incorporated in the projects research as a system of agricultural and social design principles centered on simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems on the building site.
