Making a difference means not only creating aesthetically significant designs, but doing so with issues of sustainability, environmental sensitivity and maintainability in the forefront of our minds. We understand Dark Sky. We understand the stringent requirements of LEED certification. The designers of STUDIOK1 have created some of the most significant energy efficient and environmentally appropriate facilities in the country, including the LEED Platinum Environmental Nature Center, the only such facility in Orange County, CA, and the Toyota Headquartersin Torrance, CA, which is one of the largest privately funded LEED Gold facilities in the country. We have LEED Accredited Professionals on our team and, having wrestled for years with one of the most stringent energy codes in the country, we are accustomed to finding unique design solutions that save energy—and money—for our clients.
