Sustainability

Sustainable design is not something we focus on because it’s new or trendy. Our standard since BASE was founded in 1995 has been to focus on designing efficient, cost-effective structural systems to achieve one of the core tenets of sustainable design: the efficient use of materials and resources.

BASE routinely seeks ways to improve overall structural efficiency of buildings. A lot of times, it comes from challenging ourselves and seeing if we can do better. The key is not to approach a project with any preconceived notions, but to develop a structural system suited to the project’s unique needs.
