Brickstack Architecture+Design is dedicated to being good stewards of the environment through the use of proven, passive heating and cooling techniques, proper placement and sensitive interventions to the site, locally sourced building materials and abiding by the principles of the NC HealthyBuilt Homes and Energy Star standards.
Environmental Stewardship also means creating architecture that is durable, well constructed and properly designed for its site. Favoring smaller homes of greater quality and reinvesting capital in an existing structure are just some of the ways we promote our philosophy of smaller, smarter, greener. A well designed and well crafted home not only contributes to a sustainable future, but one that benefits the health and comfort of our clients.
In addition to our commitment to our natural resources, we proudly support our local economy through its extraordinary human resources. Western North Carolina is home to an abundance of talented artists, artisans and craftspeople. Without their hands and skill, great architecture could not be possible.
