about us
Bill Chaleff and Paul Rogers have been partners designing
sustainable
architecture since 1985. Bill Chaleff designed his first solar
home in 1975.
They shared a belief in the importance of
designing buildings
in an environmentally responsive way long before
it became popular to practice “Green” Architecture.
The firm has built over 200 energy efficient homes employing concepts such as true passive solar design, state-of-the-art construction methods and materials and integrated thermal system engineering. Bill has developed a unique system of air-floor construction which he has incorporated into over 150 buildings. He has also been designing with SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) since 1986 and writes articles on SIP construction.
It is the philosophy of this firm that each project is unique. The design of the building is a response to the conditions of the site, the surrounding visual environment, and the historical contexts, as well as the building’s program. Additionally, they hold that a good project delivers high value.
The built environment serves as the armature for our social landscape, and as stewards of the earth and people who care about the well-being of our current and future generations, we should build no less than the best of which we are capable.
