Welcome to Earthly Ideas

Since 1992, building owners, architects, and construction managers have hired Earthly Ideas LLC to assist in the design and construction of high performance buildings. Our practice is grounded in the fact that knowledge is power; we are dedicated to supporting commercial, institutional, and industrial project teams with the sustainable design and construction information, resources, and skills needed to produce these facilities.

From its current location in Durango, Colorado (but remembering its roots from Austin, Texas), Earthly Ideas successfully provides project teams throughout the country with innovative approaches to sustainable design consulting, project management, and training and education. Managing the integrated design process can seem complicated – especially if you are new to sustainable development or LEED® certification. To guide our clients, we draw upon our outstanding organizational skills and years of experience in the sustainable development field to identify and implement the most effective strategies.

We have experience in a diversity of building types, including office, museum, library, university, K-12 school, cultural, mixed-use, institutional, and industrial developments. For our portfolio of projects, please click here.
