Green Sand is an award winning full-service architecture and sustainability consulting firm established with a main purpose to do things better, smarter and with a focus on the environment and sustainable design. With an emphasis on high-performance, energy-efficient, and healthy buildings, Green Sand excels at both the technical and the artful implementation of sustainable design and development. The essence of our design process is embodied by these ideals.
Green Sand firmly believes that sustainable or green design should be an inherent part of every project. Green Sand strives to find that technique, that strategy, that place, in every project where the individual environment, economic, and social benefits combine to be something greater than the individual parts. The added benefit generated by this synergy increases the ultimate value of each project. Green Sand delivers architecture to satisfy the client's needs while reducing environmental impact.
Starting with this simple idea, Rhonda and Matt Goyke created Green Sand Architecture + Sustainability. They put great thought into what they wanted to contribute and how they could make a difference in the world. As a team, Rhonda and Matt interweave their expertise in architecture and environmental science into every project.
