We believe that good architecture is a reflection of the heart, and at the same time nurtures the soul. There is a balance to be found between the language of a place and the realm of modern ideas. Tradition plays a large part in informing the future innovations that will be tomorrow’s architecture. The process that we employ here is a fun approach to problem solving - fun because we love the challenges presented by the needs of the individual balanced with the requirements of a place.

The process of designing a physical space for our patrons offers us the privilege of getting to know them on a level that is entirely unique. Part of this process is one of raw exploration, and every time we go on this journey with a client, new or returning, it always proves to be a consummate experience. We strive for lifelong relationships with our clients, because ultimately the buildings that we design are about relationships. As these structures come to life, there is a sense of fulfillment that can only come from a collaborative accomplishment.

In the broader sense, we believe that everything we do impacts our communities, local and global, in a very real way. We are therefore committed to making these impacts positive and constructive.

The 2030 Challenge:
Munn Architecture is proud to announce its adoption of the 2030 Challenge. The 2030 Challenge is a commitment to incremental increases in building efficiency and implementation of alternative energy strategies every 5 years. The end goal is that all of our buildings be Carbon-Neutral by the year 2030. This means that they will produce more energy than they use. By 2010, we will be designing structures that are 60% more efficient than the Regional Average.

The 2030 Challenge was created by architect Edward Mazria, in direct response to scientist’s warnings regarding dwindling resources and climate change. The ultimate goal is to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere by buildings to zero. Buildings consume nearly half of the energy used in the United States, and 76% of all the electricity produced, providing a dramatic opportunity to reduce the use of fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy sources.
