At Albertsson Hansen, we believe the best residential architecture has always been sustainable in that it makes a compelling case for a building's continued existence. When a house is well sited for daylight, microclimate, and prospect; well built of enduring materials; and carefully planned to support the daily lives of its inhabitants; it makes a strong case to remain standing. Without these qualities, no home is truly sustainable, no matter how energy efficient or recyclable.

We work with the green building guidelines of the U.S Green Building Council, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Green Building Program, and Minnesota Green Star to educate ourselves and our clients on continually evolving best practices.
