About Trillium Architects


Trillium Architects is a 12 person, full service, boutique architectural firm specializing in Passive House, Net-Zero and off-the-grid new homes, additions, and renovations. Based in Ridgefield, Connecticut, we primarily work in Fairfield and Litchfield Counties in Connecticut and Westchester County in New York.

In 2015 and 2016 we won awards for Best Energy Efficient Home in America from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Department of Energy (DOE.) We won a Third Place International Innovation award which we accepted at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Morocco in 2016, and we won Best Emerging Firm in Connecticut from the American Institute of Architects (AIA,) also in 2016.

With the end goal of marrying beauty, usability, and the cutting edge of efficient design, we strive to always exceed our clients’ expectations.
