Our homes, places of business and leisure, and the infrastructure that surrounds them have a profound impact on our planet. In the United States alone, the built environment accounts for over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 65% of waste output, and 70% of electricity consumption.

Cities and buildings are an integral part of the environment. FXFOWLE perceives the constructed landscape as a critical factor in our efforts to develop a healthy and sustainable world.

At FXFOWLE, we realize that we are responsible for restoring and enhancing the current state of the environment. Our approach goes beyond reducing the negative impacts of construction. We plan concentrated developments to promote urbanism, public life, and shared use of resources. We create buildings that produce, rather than consume energy. Our projects contribute additional green space and improve air quality. We endeavor to improve human well-being and protect other species.

FXFOWLE's ecological approach is inherent in all of our projects, serving as a guiding principle for achieving goals of design excellence, innovation, and civic responsibility. We recognize that each project has a unique “ecosystem,” yet we strive to integrate project objectives within broader social and environmental missions. Our designs express the inherent synergies of a world constructed of interdependent parts.
