Featured Reviews for Green Building Companies in LaPorte

dSPACE Studio Ltd, AIA
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 30, 2012
“As a Chicagoland kitchen and bath designer, I have worked with the dSPACE group on a number of residential kitchen and baths. They are a talented and professional group. Great ideas and inspired designs flow from the studio on Lincoln Ave. A pleasure to work with on every job.”
HELMAN SECHRIST Architecture
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 29, 2014
“Nothing but praise for Helman Sechrist Architecture: we are in a home we couldn’t even dream of (better than a ‘dream home’) - designed by Helman Sechrist! We had a design challenge - leaving behind two homes that we loved, and combining into 1 new home that would accommodate my family (husband and 3 kids) and my mom, ensuring space for everyone and universal accessibility. We looked at a few homes in our area, then we spent months looking at plans, and realized that nothing pre-drawn was going to work for our family. From my first conversation with Jeff Helman, I was confident that he understood our unique situation - he agreed that we would need to start from scratch. I realize now that this is how they design all their homes - designing spaces around the needs and wants of their clients, spaces that function perfectly and are beautiful! The journey was amazing - their process ensures they are aware of all the functions you want to accomplish in your home - before any plans are drawn. We met extensively with Jeff and Brad (Sechrist), they were alway patient and a pleasure to work with even when we were not at our best - ( imagine how hard a project is to coordinate between two people - then add a mom / mother-in-law to that mix). The staff at Helman Sechrist was there for us throughout the project - They helped us with the bidding process, helped us pick the right builder, made sure that the house was on the lot where it should be, and even talked us through the inevitable rough spots. I cannot express how much we love our new space, how perfectly it is working for us. The spaces that we are living in are just the right size, very spacious - but still cozy; never cavernous or cold. If you want a house that fits your family and your needs - not a house that you have to fit into - Helman Sechrist is well worth the investment.”
Allegretti Architects, Inc.
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2013
“We interviewed 3 architects and chose John Allegretti based on his previous work and enthusiasm for our specific project. We wanted to go from a 1-1/2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath to something more. Our lot size is 33 x 132 ft. which isn't much to work with. Our location on lake Michigan's Silver Beach is extremely desirable but our home was not allowing us to take full advantage of available views. John created a full second story complete with a master suite (bedroom, bath and living area) and walk out second floor deck. This deck offers privacy and another beach view perspective. We now have expansive views throughout our home. (John used glass railings throughout.) We ended up with a more spacious home than we had envisioned. John also presented our project to the local planning commission (we needed variances), and remained engaged throughout the project which was a big help to us. We would work with John Allegretti and his associates again.”
Keystone Designs
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 12, 2018
“After a few false starts with others in the area, Keystone has been a breath of fresh air, with timely service, reasonable rates, and great customer service. It's also clear that Keystone's technical advice is very sound. Being an engineer, my curiosity can be unwelcome in technical areas, but Ven has helped me fully understand the merits of his work. He's also helped our builder bring solid plans to reality, with little of the friction you might expect between architect and builder. Working with Keystone has been a rare pleasure in today's world; not only has the quality, cost and thoroughness of Keystone's work been excellent, but their sense of urgency has helped keep our rehab project timeline intact.”
Cripe Design Llc
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 19, 2020
“I had a custom lake home built in 2018 and chose Cripe Design as my architect. They did an outstanding job! Dan Cripe and his team were a pleasure to work with. They have a very high attention to details and have great design ideas. Their help made the whole project a whole lot less stressful! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.”
Hibler Design Studio
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2013
“Jesse Hibler is an excellent architect, talented and responsive to concerns. We built a home with his guidance over the last eighteen monthsa And we are extremely satisfied. His design captured the feel we were looking for, and we Feel he came up with a plan that suited our needs, both in style and function. Jesse has a fun personality and we really enjoyed the design phase of our project.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 29, 2021
“Greg designed our 2 car attached garage and mudroom. The project was delayed multiple times during permit and build. Nevertheless, Greg's expertise, professionalism and stellar customer service helped us realize our dream addition. Calvin and Melissa Denton”
Palmyra PLLC
Green Building Companies in LaPorte
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 28, 2020
“I asked Palmyra's help with the design of my new kitchen, as well as the 2 full/1 half bathrooms of my new house. With regards to the kitchen, the assigned architect had already made an initial design, but I was very unhappy with it (but had to just let it slide since the bureaucracy in Greece is extremely time consuming). I was also building the house with 1 more person so I couldn't fully make my own decisions early on. Not only Palmyra made me love the new kitchen that she designed, the assigned architect also admitted it was a much better design! Spacious, open, but very, very functional with lots of storage space. Looks awesome too, everyone entering the house comments on the kitchen. As for the bathrooms, Palmyra encouraged me to be creative, and she would never "instruct" me, even though many times I asked her to just tell me what to do! She always mentioned that the house should have something from me as well, and I should be the one making the final calls. She would of course steer me out of potential issues with my decisions, but the end result is that I truly love the bathrooms, especially the purple guest bathroom! I super strongly recommend Palmyra. Besides her knowledge and professionalism, she actually taught me a lot about the process of remodeling, and I truly feel that the house has "something of me" embedded in it!”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a green building project can vary widely based on its complexity, size, and specific green technologies employed. On average, a green building project may take slightly longer than a conventional one due to the careful selection of materials and implementation of innovative practices. A small to medium residential project could range from 6 to 18 months, whereas larger or more complex projects might take longer. Clear communication with your chosen company will help set realistic timelines.
Green Building Companies prioritize materials that are sustainable, recycled, or recyclable, have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, and are sourced locally when possible. Design trends lean towards maximizing natural light, improving indoor air quality, and incorporating energy-efficient systems. The choice of materials and design elements is influenced by environmental performance criteria, client preferences, and architectural trends focused on sustainability and resilience.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for sustainability, budget, and design. Researching green building principles and familiarizing oneself with key concepts such as passive solar design, energy efficiency measures, and water conservation can be very helpful. Gathering inspiration and creating a vision board can also aid in communicating your desires to the building company. Lastly, securing financing and understanding any eligible green building incentives or rebates is crucial.
Challenges such as sourcing specific sustainable materials, adhering to green certification requirements, and managing costs are addressed through experienced project management, innovative problem-solving, and robust supplier networks. Companies stay abreast of the latest green technologies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring project goals are met without compromising on sustainability standards.
