ESTABLISHED 1990

ECOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE is design that emphasizes natural materials and the use of renewable resources that come from the earth in such a way that they can be returned to the earth without causing harm.

OUR DESIGN APPROACH

ECOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE merges the interests of sustainability, environmental consciousness, green, natural, and organic approaches to evolve a design solution from these requirements and from the characteristics of the site, its neighborhood context, and the local mirco-climate and topography.
ECOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE is naturally site-sensitive. The location of a building has a direct impact on its performance. The local ecology of the site, its gradient, orientation, and exposure provide specific conditions, while the regional climate offers a more general context for design. We incorporate aspects of passive solar and thermal mass into all of our work as a mechanism of reducing energy consumption.

CLIENT’S REVIEWS

JASON A. NICHOLS, P.E.

I am writing to recommend Sven Alstrom AIA for your firm. As a structural and forensic engineer and Principal/Partner at a Kansas City engineering firm, I have worked with Sven on a numberof projects since 2006. In that time, I have gained a tremendous comfort level with Sven and his practical approach to architectural design. He has a firm grasp of fundamental engineering concepts, such that it is always a significant consideration in any of his designs...
