Renewables

Environmental design, in our minds, is changing.  We are going to see less traditional new construction starts and more projects that push the efficiency frontier of our existing infrastructure and more renovations. Corduroy is here.  We have the specialists to guide our clients through a complete energy audit and low impact development.  We tighten margins, increase cash flow and when warranted, invite institutional investors to partake. Closed loop systems, bio-mass generation, storm water reclamation and alternative fuels are the future of design and sustainability.

Project Management

Corduroy is dedicated not only to the sustainability of our designs but also the client’s experience. Projects should run on time, on budget and that is where we excel.  Straight communication and collaboration are critical for success.

Commitment to Design

There is a pragmatic shift needed in the design industry.  Projects have to be understood on several levels and that requires true outside the box thought.  We develop partnerships with people outside of the design community and have them contribute to our design process.  We feel that the best designs come from collaboration and the deeper that pool of input, the greater the design will be.

Sustainability in Design

Design should be multi-purpose, modular and interactive. More often than not real innovations, the type that can change lives, are not a part of design. Corduroy is turning sustainability into great design by considering the earth, the user and their experience.
