Buildings & Structures

Parallel works on buildings and structures with a focus on design quality, sustainability, and long-term performance. Our approach combines architectural intent with experience in high-performance building envelopes, energy-efficient construction, and environmentally responsible building methods.

We take on a limited number of building projects, allowing for close involvement throughout design and construction.

Parallel has experience applying energy-efficient assemblies, as well as developing and integrating solar energy and net-zero strategies where appropriate. Projects are developed with a small, trusted group of subtrades and consultants to support coordinated design and careful execution. We place equal emphasis on performance and design, developing buildings with a clear architectural sensibility, durable materials, and thoughtful detailing.
