Sustainability
PEOPLE
the focus of sustainable design
4240 designs environments that promote health, productivity,
connectivity, comfort, and freedom. Beginning with 4D programming
and continuing through commissioned operations, 4240 creates
thriving canvasses for life.
PRACTICE
sustainability shapes our work
From our fleet of office bikes and sustainable studio environments, to
the design of high-performance buildings and sustainable communities,
the tenets of sustainability form 4240's foundation and shape our
actions. In fact, they always have.
RESEARCH
expecting more from our buildings
Buildings today have the potential to respond to their environments,
generate their own energy, grow food, collect potable water and
dispose of waste. Investigating emerging technologies and strategies
of high-performance buildings and cities is an integral aspect of our practice.
