high-fidelity / low-impact
hi-fi is a future-focused architecture and design practice seeking better solutions. we’re committed to reducing environmental impact through rigorous consideration of building form, site, materiality, and construction methods. while constructing a building is not inherently sustainable, we believe it can be done with greater care and intention. we advocate for high-performance buildings, encourage lower-carbon materials, and collaborate with builders fluent in energy-efficient construction practices. carbon footprint and energy efficiency are considered and tracked throughout the design and construction processes. our approach to design centers on a material-forward simplicity - interpreting and curating current trends with time-honored traditions of construction. we aim to deliver enduring, bespoke, and contextually responsive solutions.
