Beyond Standards
We believe that design and performance are one and the same. We strive to make all our buildings energy-positive so they give back to the environment. Through our many years of practice, we’ve developed a rigorous process designed to shift expectations.
Built with a primary goal: to limit the need for energy.

Every Project
At OPAL, a future in which buildings give back is our present reality. Seamless functionality, light-filled spaces and low impact materials provide astonishing thermal comfort and healthy indoor air quality. Generating integrated, renewable energy means our buildings pay their own way—and then some.
Is your present guided by the future or guided by the past?
