Modern Boulder architects for 41 years, Barrett Studio Architects is committed to a transition toward a sustainable, green future. To achieve this dream we must look to nature for its bio-logic and its inspiration for form. By holding nature as our teacher, architecture can deliver a sense of vitality that places us in relationship to our surroundings. This awareness of a deep connection to living, breathing systems is an experience E.O. Wilson termed "biophilia", the love of the living. Living Architecture exceeds the aesthetic of natural harmony, rather it delves deep within to harmonize with the earth's rhythms-to truly, seamlessly intertwine with nature.
Since our inception in 1977 in Boulder, Colorado, Barrett Studio has been comprised of a small team of architects who are driven to create spaces rooted in an environmental ethic. Over the years, our craft has evolved toward the creation of "living architecture, " which is centered around people and deeply grounded in the principles of ecology and sustainability. What arises is a joyful celebration of life in motion.

Office Manager: What the heck is all this white stuff making the walls of this house? Project Manager (Sam): Fox Blocks Insulated Concrete Forms – polystyrene forms that are then filled with concrete. Better structural strength, great thermal insulation. Office Manager: Whoa.
Another of David's favorites...Ala n Watts. Good message for these difficult times.
