Good design is a result of thoughtful planning by taking a holistic approach. In other words, it is important to understand the impact of your project on your entire home and how it operates, on the health and safety of the occupants, and how it impacts the surrounding environment. Blue Tree Homes utilizes a holistic approach by emphasizing sustainable schematic planning and smart design decisions to produce a pleasing and economical project. We feel strongly that holistic design enhances the overall project and positively contributes to the project’s longevity, health, visual appeal and our clients’ satisfaction.

Guiding Principles

Good design found both in nature and in the built environment share a common foundation. Our guiding principles at Blue Tree Homes incorporate the elements found in nature and in high performance buildings being constructed today. By understanding these elements from the beginning of the design process, Blue Tree Homes can offer a more complete and comprehensive design for our clients’ projects that reaches far beyond simple aesthetics. Some of these guiding principles are:

• Understanding climate and location and how this impacts the performance and longevity of a structure
• Identifying existing energy needs and reducing the loads on a house
• Utilizing natural systems such as sunlight and ventilation
• Employing the most efficient processes and technologies available

Through the use of software and on site consultation with clients, our services provide a clear and comprehensive project design. The plans and renderings produced can be used for permitting, homeowner’s association approval and ease of visualization of the project. Blue Tree Homes’ in-house design and build services enable the building process to continue seamlessly from the design stage to completion without any potential for miscommunication from outside design or architectural services.
