About ZeroEnergy Design
ZeroEnergy Design creates beautiful, healthy homes that empower families, uplift communities, and improve our living world. We believe buildings can make a positive contribution to the environment.
Our multidisciplinary team takes a holistic and site-specific approach to residential design. The spaces we create are beautiful, functional and durable. They provide healthy, comfortable environments for living, tailored to each client’s requirements and unique sense of style.
SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR STANDARD
Each design includes green home attributes, with our practice addressing energy, carbon, indoor air quality, durability, thermal comfort, and more. Because our deep expertise in green homes is already the norm, our team is therefore able to concentrate design time on each project’s unique attributes and owner desires.
PERFORMANCE + CERTIFICATIONS
We can help clients reach aggressive performance standards, such as Passive House (PHI and PHIUS+) and the firm's namesake, Zero Energy. Our expertise also includes LEED, Living Building Challenge, REVEAL, and more.

Testimonials
"ZED did an outstanding job designing our home. It is not only beautiful to experience, but is engineered to the highest standards of environmental efficiency. That is a perfect combination!"
—Client
"My wife and I found our dream house, and moved in just a month before having our first baby. It's a very contemporary design surrounded by green views of nature, and we have spent A LOT of time in it over the last year. Thank you ZeroEnergy Design for creating such an inspiring and comfortable space!"
—Client
"Having purchased a large lot that was part of a working apple orchard on top of a mountain I sought out a suitable architect with expertise appropriate for the global warming environment in which we find ourselves and the demanding intended location of the house. I could not be more satisfied or find myself feeling more secure with my choice of ZeroEnergy Design."
