SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

HEALTH + WELL-BEING

Two decades ago, when we wrote The HOK Guidebook to Sustainable Design, green design was an emerging field. Today, sustainability is ingrained into our culture and design processes. The resilient buildings we create contribute to the business success of our clients and to the health and wellness of their people. We track the projected energy performance of every project and have committed to achieving a carbon-neutral design portfolio by 2030. But don’t just take our word for it. We have won 10 AIA COTE awards for sustainable design excellence and ENR’s recent survey ranked HOK as the No. 1 green building architecture/engineering firm.

Organizations of all types are searching for ways to help their people thrive: physically, mentally and socially. At the same time, the links in the built environment between sustainability, health and well-being have never been clearer. HOK designs healthy places. In each project we look for ways to incorporate the restorative effects of nature. Our approach emphasizes accessible and lush outdoor spaces for work and play. We also create healthy interior environments that prioritize the biophilic principles of daylight, natural ventilation, nontoxic materials and indoor greenery.

We were an early adopter of the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard, a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring building features that can improve health and well-being. Regardless of whether a project is seeking certification, we look for every opportunity to apply WELL-inspired design concepts related to air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, community and mind. The people who occupy these healthy spaces can amplify the impact by carrying their positive feelings and behaviors back into their communities.
