PHILOSOPHY

Source Designs is the result of a long search to understand the nature of beauty and order, and the processes which create them. In exploring the holistic design philosophy of Christopher Alexander, the organic architectural school of Frank Lloyd Wright and Feng Shui, the design voice of Source Designs slowly emerged, one that is inextricably tied to beauty and spirit.

The application of sustainable design techniques add a crucial depth and utility to all our designs. The new building systems and methods of sustainable design has the opportunity to revolutionize the look and livability of homes. Source Designs endeavors to assure that these new systems are integrated into our home design in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
