Anthony started his work life as a construction laborer and began working in the field of architecture in 1964; while working as a draftsman, he went to night school at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He continued at Arizona State University, where he had the good fortune to study with the modern pioneers of passive solar building design in America.
Anthony started his own firm in 1979, and is a licensed architect in Washington and Oregon. He has served as the Sustainability Division chair for the American Solar Energy Society, board president of the Solar Energy Association of Oregon (now Solar Oregon) and as a board member for community business associations. When Anthony and Victoria met, they found that their different paths had led them to similar values and concerns about the way we live and interact with the natural world.
They frequently collaborate on classes and articles about passive solar green building design. Their love of people, commitment to moving society toward more sustainable culture, Anthony's technical expertise and Victoria's ability to "translate" concepts into everyday language make their presentations inspiring for professionals and homeowners alike.

This new, off-grid passive solar home (featured in our banner) is a modern reproduction of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house, incorporating direct gain passive solar heating and cooling, natural daylighting, solar water heating and expansive views.
Given the four-mile driveway to this remote site, an off-grid photovoltaic solar system was far less expensive than hooking up to the power lines.
This new, passive solar home on rugged Neahkahnie Mountain includes an office wing for the couple's publishing business, incorporates natural daylighting and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and northern Oregon coastline.

Anthony Stoppiello's more than 30 years working as a passive solar architect have emphasized passive solar homes and energy efficient buildings, excellent natural light, and use of healthy, environmentally preferable building material long before "green" building or "sustainability" became by-words in the design world.
Passive solar housing provides the opportunity, even in the notoriously cloudy Pacific Northwest, to heat space without using electricity or fossil fuels.
It is the principles underlying passive solar home design that turn a building into a heat source: the correct amount of glass to heat the volume and a commensurate amount of thermal mass storage to hold that heat in the building.
