CLIMATE ACTION
THROUGH DESIGN
TRANSFORMING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT FOR A NET ZERO FUTURE
The first full mass timber project in Texas, the net zero First United Bank
branch utilizes materials that sequester carbon dioxide instead of emitting it.
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE IS THE MORAL AND BUSINESS IMPERATIVE OF OUR TIME.
Our portfolio is already designed to save over 17 million metric tons of CO2 from being emitted on a yearly basis. But there’s still so much more work to do — and it can’t be done without the help of our clients, colleagues, and industry. Our mission is to transform the built environment for a net zero future with every project, in every location, and for every person.
