John’s work is driven by the belief that architecture should be sensitive to the environment and mindful of the impact each project has on their community. He leverages his experiences working across project typologies, from education and recreation to healthcare and infrastructure, to inform his leadership on many of the firm’s mixed-use residential projects.
He is committed to creating environmentally responsible and resource-efficient designs, using an integrated and holistic approach that reduces negative impacts on the environment and positively effects the health and comfort of building occupants. Whether spearheading AIA-2030 efforts, leading the firm’s Sustainable Practice Group, or incorporating Passive House standards, his focus on sustainable practices is guided by proactive education and integration of evolving green technologies.
John has lectured on the subjects of affordable housing and sustainability, speaking at the Center for Architecture, AIA NYS, Urban Green and GreenBuild, Forum for Urban Design, Reimagine Conference, and the PHIUS Passive House Conference.
