We specialize in beautiful and smart community buildings and residences, both
new and renovated. Brennan+Company Architects has been practicing sustainable,
smart design for years - incorporating durable materials, 'not so big house'
ideas, reallocation of space, and building preservation. Eleven years ago we
began rewriting our specifications to include renewable, recycled or salvaged
materials and products that also provide an healthy indoor air quality. Five
years ago, we began creating a 'green plan' for each new project that evaluated
existing site, water, energy, material and air quality conditions. We provided
recommendations specific to each project to design more sustainably and we
educated our clients on making more holistic choices. Two years ago, we began to
look deeper in to energy efficiency issues, realizing that the energy to
maintain a building has the largest impact on our environment. Currently we work
with a Passive House Consultant who is trained in methods and technologies of
building envelope design that is 80% more energy efficient. Combined with our
knowledge of materials, site sustainability, and healthy indoor air quality,
Brennan+Company creates holistic environments that are healthy for their
inhabitants and for the environment.
