Green Planning and Design

Vert Design is a green planning and design firm. Specializing in residential, recreational, commercial, and community projects of a human scale, we realize projects that people can relate to. Our multi-disciplinary team turns spaces into living places in urban and rural environments.

Vert Design means green design.

We work to help you reduce or eliminate many of the negative impacts of development. Green design is a means to ensure sustainability for your community, both immediately, and into the future. Green design WAS non-conventional; it IS the new norm.

Vert Design provides the best return on investment in green design with 4 clear benefits:

• Saving money now and in the future - Configuring available construction technology strategically maximizes resource and energy efficiency, ultimately lowers operating costs.
• Making life more comfortable - Tailoring solutions to a clients needs helps them adapt their environment to better suit a unique lifestyle, ultimately increases functionality.
• Creating healthier environments - Integrating locally sourced, non-toxic, sustainably-produced, and recycled materials into projects, ultimately minimizes our global impacts and improving individual well-being.
• Improving lifestyle and the lives of future generations - Facilitating sustainable site selection and land management helps clients integrate within their environment, ultimately makes positive places now - for later. Vert Design makes sense.

Vert Design believes the world should continue to change - in a sustainable way. In a sustainable future we value economy, ecology, and society equally. Through sustainable actions we provide the best outcomes possible for humans and other living things, both now and into the indefinite future.

A sustainable world "meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs". (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). Vert Design demonstrates that a balance is possible. Vert Design makes change happen.
