Generation of a living, caring, vibrant world through overall vision and implementation at all levels. Maclay Architects designs buildings and communities that are models for healthy, inspired living, advancing to a carbon neutral and ecologically sustainable future.
We offer clients choices in selecting the appropriate levels of environmental performance. This may range from current standards to carbon neutral and/or net zero performance; buildings or communities that produce more energy than they consume annually. Our project solutions are built on ecological and systems-based design principles using a collaborative process with our clients and stakeholders.
We integrate environmental design throughout our process. We provide clear metrics so that our clients can select performance options based on their unique requirements.

We believe the process of design is as important as the outcome and that the process is integrally connected to design and building.
At Maclay Architects, the foundation of the design process is built first on effective communication practices; and secondly on a generative and integrated design process to meet client mission, vision and purpose.
To design and build a building, there are thousands of conversations that happen.
Each conversation offers opportunities for engagement, exploration, discovery, enjoyment, and insight-and also for misunderstanding and conflict.

The transformation to renewably powered and positive carbon buildings, communities, and planet is happening now with healthy, sustainable, regenerative, resilient, living buildings and places, connected to and built on biophilia and biomimicry (nature's design principles).
Every day we hear of the potentially catastrophic impacts of carbon induced climate change.
How can we go from being overwhelmed and helpless to engaged positive action?
What can we do to move toward net zero impact and even have a net positive influence on our world?
