Our Approach
At Trillium, we design sustainable, intelligent, resilient, sophisticated, and healthly homes. We collaborate with our clients to design homes as unique as the people who occupy them and as beautiful as the natural world that surrounds them. Uncompromised in our commitment to building healthy, energy efficient homes, we guide our clients through the process of realizing their visions and creating a house they can be proud of.
Our Values
HOMES GOOD FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT
We are here to help you create the peaceful, light filled, clean and healthy house that will serve as home base for your organic lifestyle.We are the experts in bringing you healthy, sustainable, green homes!
We specialize in LEED, Net Zero, Passive House, and off-the-grid homes. Enter a Trillium house and breathe easy. Let the kids and dog lie on the floor. Spend your weekends doing anything but home maintenance.
Brag about the fact that your utility bills average about $30 per month all year long.
WE BELIEVE IN HEALTHY, EFFICIENT HOMES
We have done our homework on the effects our lives have on the environment and the effects our environment has on us. The homes we live in have great capacity to impact our health as well as the environment. Our homes need to provide us with a safe comfortable living experience, but also they need to not contaminate us with toxins or allergens. We design houses using all natural, no-voc, non-toxic materials, and we assemble them in ways that will not cause mold, mildew, or other detrimental effects to indoor air quality.
WE BELIEVE IN GETTING BACK TO NATURE
The connection that we have with the land our house sits on can enhance our experience of our immediate environment and of nature at large. Deeper connection to the natural world can lead to a deeper understanding of our impact upon the world around us. The more that our house is in harmony with its environment, and the more we actively participate in the operation of our house as shelter, the longer the house will last.
WE ARE AN 'INTENTIONAL COMPANY'
We do honest work for an honest fee. One client calls it 'Fair Trade Architecture.' At Trillium Architects - caring, high quality, well researched, and thoughtful work is our base starting point. On top of that, we bring experience, technical excellence, and creative thinking to all that we do.
We work in a team format with our clients and contractors. We do not participate in adversarial or dishonest business practices. We believe that what you give to the world, the world gives back to you. We believe that part of building healthy, efficient, and sustainable homes is maintaining a healthy, efficient, and sustainable business atmosphere. We hope that our level of caring and thoughtfulness is apparent in all that we do.
Our Commitment
To play our part in making all homes green, healthier, and more sustainable, we have made a commitment to the following values:
Design Resilient Homes:
We will continue to build the most energy efficient and resilient structures as are financially responsible, and to evolve the definition of these as technologies and knowledge evolve.
