Building with a Profound Respect for our Planet
Our first duty as architects is to create spaces that celebrate the excitement and mystery of our world in ways respectful of nature’s laws, as well as in ways that connect people to nature’s nourishing beauty. We accomplish these ideals by specializing in straw bale homes and other green building techniques such as green roofs, natural plasters, adobe, rainwater harvesting.
Since creating the firm in 1995 with my father, James Hubbell, a world-renowned artist deeply embedded in San Diego’s culture, we have built an established reputation for personally serving our clients and professionally applying our expertise to a wide spectrum of projects—from residential home design and remodeling to public facilities such as churches, zoos, parks, nature centers, and tribal centers.
Why Green Building?
Sustainable design (or green building design) is a way to mitigate (and hopefully reverse) the negative impacts we have on our planet, our health, and our future. Over the last 25 years Hubbell & Hubbell Architects has found some consistent practical design approaches that we find particularly useful for our region’s climate and economy in the face of these environmental challenges.
We have been at the forefront of specializing in green building techniques such as straw bales, adobe blocks, insulated concrete form while incorporating fire resistant design strategies. In climates that can be unpredictable, we work to design buildings that not only are beneficial to the people occupying them, but also the environment surrounding them.
