WHAT OUR CLIENTS VALUE

“I enjoy working with the team.  I admire their expertise and appreciate their individual effort. My ‘Rest of Life’ house is very important to me and the process is empowering.”

”The home started as an attempt to bring our values and day-to-day lives more in alignment.  However, I’ve learned so much in the process from the amazing people on the project, I’m beginning to ask the question of how to make healthy, sustainable buildings achievable by people in every income category.”

The AIA Seattle “task force wanted you to hear that the proposal [on high-performance buildings, user behavior, pro-environmental values and place meaning] was of great interest.”

”Julie’s ability to bridge disciplines and sensibilities is evident in her work, which is fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature. She draws together her long-time expertise in architecture with a growing expertise in environmental psychology demonstrating an important intellectual flexibility. Julie has an excellent ability to analyze and discuss complex phenomena and data....”

Julie … “is passionate about sustainable design, a creative thinker, and a team player as well as having extensive technical and technological skills.”

Julie… “has deep knowledge of high performance building strategies and brings enthusiasm and passion to … the topic. High-performance buildings using Passive House principles are not effective unless built properly. Understanding the reasons why, when, and how these details are used is critical to enable construction teams to use installation methods and verification systems for long-term durability and quality construction.”

”Anyone who knows Julie knows that she is extraordinarily passionate about both architecture and environmental conservation (i.e., high performance buildings). The course she is proposing to teach is a perfect match with these passions and her extraordinary skill set in architectural practice.”
