Arkin Tilt is an award-winning firm specializing in energy and resource efficient design.

Our projects embody a marriage of thoughtful design and ecology, creating spaces that are comfortable and lyrical. We pay particular attention to the integration of the built and natural environments - from siting to careful detailing. We have extensive experience with alternative  construction systems, such as straw-bale and Hempcrete, renewable energy systems, greywater, and non-toxic and salvaged materials. Our projects include residential and commercial, park buildings, religious facilities, and Eco-Resort planning and design.

We believe design is a collaborative process.  With no prescribed 'style' the particulars of the site and user needs and desires are the guideposts of the design process. We are most recently focused on carbon sequestration and at the forefront of promoting bio-genetic (plant-based) building materials.

We integrate sustainable efforts into our practice by riding bicycles, reducing waste in the office, and supporting local businesses.  With electric and biodiesel cars and solar electricity, we work to keep the office's carbon footprint small.
