We at DSK know that design and construction contribute to improving people’s lives, providing shelter, and building community. Our buildings are places to live, work, and learn. However, design and construction contribute to climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, plastics in the ocean, an abundance of chemicals of concern, and water shortages.
With a wicked problem, we begin where we are.
We believe we can contribute to the solution with our practice.
In 2018, DSK signed the AIA 2030 commitment to document the energy use of our building designs. As part of that commitment, DSK developed a Sustainability Action Plan (SAP).
We launched the SAP at our Sustainability Summit in November 2022 with a design workshop, along with tours of the DSK renovation of the Westport River Watershed Alliance headquarters, and the passive house and farm at Stonefruit Farm.
The climate is changing. So are we.
Take a look!
