News: Arch Nexus Named in ENR’s Top 100 Green Design Firms
Architectural Nexus is pleased to be listed among global design leaders in ENR’s Top 100 Green Design Firms. The interest in sustainable and regenerative design and construction can be seen in the results of the 2020 ENR Top Green survey. As a group, the Top 100 Green Design Firms generated $7.28 billion in 2019 design revenue from projects registered with and actively seeking certification from third-party rating groups under sustainable-design standards such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge (LBC). This represents a 7.5% increase from $6.77 billion in 2018.
In some ways, the pandemic is changing the conversation around green. For many, the relationship between buildings and environmental health has been seen as indirect, benefitting future generations. Now, green design is evolving from an approach to aid in preserving the environment to a more fundamental concern over environmental and human health.
Regarding the recognition, company president Kenner Kingston says: We are gratified and encouraged to be making our first appearance on this list. Architectural Nexus looks forward to moving up over time thanks to our clients who are understanding more and more how important it is that we provide comprehensive regenerative design solutions in our work. By creating real connections to place, treating stormwater as a resource rather than a nuisance, delivering on the promise of electrification, and ensuring that only healthy building materials get into our projects, we are leveraging state-of-the-shelf technology to make better places for people.
