Macht Architecture, providing environmentally sensitive design for over 30 years, which is at the core of who we are and how we approach architecture.
Our work focuses on marrying the project with the site allowing us to take advantage of what the land has to offer in terms of views, both close and far, topography, existing structures, vegetation, and first and foremost the sun. In every project, we look at passive solar heating, whether it is the core focus of the project or just an additional feature. Passive solar heating allows the winter sun to radiate heat through the windows on the south side while designing overhangs and shades to block the summer sun. Passive solar heating can reduce the heating needs for the home by 50% or higher.
