Sustainable Home Design

Throughout the entire project life-cycle; conceptualization, design development, permitting, and construction (including material and resource selection as well as progress monitoring) GNAR Inc. will deliver fantastic sustainable building designs. We are focused on working closely with you, the client, to bring your vision to life. Working to incorporate elements of Passive House design, meeting net-zero building standards, and designing energy-positive buildings are all ways we will work with you to create a sustainable home design.

Renovations

Embarking on a renovation can be an opportunity to improve energy efficiency and functionality within a space, and create space you have been dreaming of. It can also provide you with the opportunity to increase the value of your home. Through the use of our 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, we will bring your vision to life and ensure that everything needed to obtain building permits is provided and construction goes smoothly.

Interior Design

Whether you’ve just wrapped up a renovation, addition, or a full new build, the next step is transforming that space into something that truly reflects your vision. Our in-house designer will collaborate with you to bring your ideas to life—creating a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels just right and functions seamlessly for your lifestyle.

Additions

Increasing the square footage of your building can provide endless opportunities (bedrooms, bathrooms, and rental suites are just a few suggestions). No matter the timeline or budget the GNAR Inc. design team will work with you to seamlessly integrate the new space with the existing space. A well planned and executed addition will increase the value of your home today and tomorrow.

Deep Energy Retrofits

When preparing to embark on a renovation or addition to a space often priority is given to design layout. A deep energy retrofit can also provide the opportunity to improve a home’s air quality, thermal comfort, and durability. A whole-building analysis will identify opportunities for investment/upgrades (including but not limited to adding insulation, replacing windows glazing, or replacing the roof) to improve a home’s overall energy performance.
