Overview
Custom homes designed from the structure outward.
SENERGY360 designs healthy custom homes from concept to construction documents. The SENERGY360 architectural team integrates architecture, building science, and construction strategy from the earliest stages.
We design for any construction type; our preferred wall system is FASWALL, a mineral-based insulated concrete form proven in our own homes. Every project is guided by the 12 CORE Principles for Healthy Building Design.
