Diverse in scale, character and visual expression, CCA’s work has won many AIA and industry design awards for excellence. Embracing the use of technology and sustainable practices, the firm’s projects create exceptionally humane environments. CCA’s design philosophy emphasizes: a clear expression of the client’s program challenges (on-site workshop process); a comprehensive micro-master planning analysis of the character of the site’s surroundings, respect for the subtle qualities of the land, and the need for honoring a sense of place. CCA takes a holistic approach to site planning, architecture and interiors. This connects people with ideas, reinforcing space that encourages interaction and learning. The firm’s work is recognized for its commitment to simplicity of structure and building form. Energy efficient practices include optimizing the buildings orientation to control solar loads while maximizing daylighting and natural ventilation. Other sustainable features include high performance building envelopes, the use of local indigenous materials and an implementation of community driven solutions.
