Carlson Studio Architecture is a regional leader in sustainable design. Sustainability is a key principal we apply to all of our projects. The integrated design approach that we utilize in all our work allows us to provide high quality, high performance buildings for our clients. We look at our buildings as part of the greater "whole system". Everything is part of one Whole System. Ecological thinking means looking at living things in their whole context, while seeking also to understand the interconnections between all living beings and their environment. It recognizes that no living being â including human beings â exists in isolation.
Our investments express our values. Many sustainable building practices (for example, proper building orientation and daylighting) cost nothing and have significant environmental benefits. Other design choices require an increase in first cost but return of investment in lower operating and maintenance costs within a short to medium time frame (for example, an energy management system or an improved building envelope). Investing in sustainability has direct tangible benefits such as life cycle cost savings and intangible, but equally important benefits, such as quality of life and health.
People are at the heart of our company`s success - from our clients to our staff. At Carlson Studio Architecture, we take pride in having a team of creative professionals who are dedicated and committed to providing superior client service. Our team members possess that critical balance between field experience, formal education and technical knowledge that is so critical in today`s rapidly changing environment, thus ensuring the ability to provide client satisfaction on every project.
We are a member of the US Green Building Council (USGBC), a founding member of the USGBC Gulf Coast Chapter, and Michael Carlson is a LEED Accredited Professional. We are also a member of the Florida Green Building Coalition.
