History
moss believes sustainable design is a holistic design methodology; a practice that acknowledges the importance of surroundings as well as built space. Our architecture promotes a wide range of environmental activities--from biodiversity, water quality, and agriculture to transportation, energy production, and waste management. If these concepts are developed in a communal atmosphere, resources and ideas can be shared among local occupants while waste is minimized and productivity is optimized.
Specialties
Moss is a full service architecture and design studio Chicago, Illinois. Our work is diverse by design, and allows us to explore the best design solutions across varied project types including residential, commercial, breweries and wineries, retail, urban planning, permaculture design,custom furniture, restaurants, and LEED. We assist our clients through the entire architectural and construction process, from site selection and design through permitting and construction. We work collaboratively with our design team and fabricators to create beautiful, livable, superior spaces. Our architecture emphasizes the creative use of sustainable materials to seamlessly blend landscape with the built environment, creating an enriching experience for occupants. Instead of supplanting or suppressing, we aim to create a mutually beneficial exchange between environment and edifice, where buildings don't dirty, pollute or drain, but instead clean, purify and inspire with a site specific approach.
