As stewards of the built environment, we understand our unique role, and our attendant responsibility, to guide the design and planning process in a manner that respects our natural resources.

To this end, Larimer Design is committed to designing environmentally responsible buildings, neighborhoods, and communities. We practice and implement sustainable principles by:
Promoting sustainable buildings and communities through project design
Creating an office environment that supports continuing education for staff as they pursue their credentials as LEED Accredited Professionals
