Green Philosophy
You're Reading About: GreenFAQ.Q: Tell me about Avalon Enterprises
A: Avalon Enterprises is an award-winning residential design firm specializing in custom homes that showcase green design. I founded Avalon after studying design and architecture at Stanford University and Oxford University in England. I wanted to marry my passions for architectural design and construction arts. Today, as a licensed general contractor, a LEED Accredited Professional and a Certified Green Building Professional, green design and building opportunities represent my entire focus. This is because I firmly believe that this approach creates homes that are better for people and better for the planet. I am passionate about fighting climate change and I believe that sustainable development is a big piece of that. As a successful small firm, Avalon selectively chooses its projects. As I think about a project, I focus attention on the details of daily living, because that’s where homeowners
often find the greatest satisfaction. I apply timeless principles of architecture and design to enhance the sense of space, light, order and balance. I strive to achieve practical and beautiful homes that support people in their daily living.
I believe that a successful design can be achieved in nearly any style. In the same way, any style of home can be a green home. Most of all, my philosophy is to design for life.
