In collaboration with our client, we were able to:

Reduce heating and cooling requirements by up to 60%.

Reduce yearly heating and cooling costs slashed by up to 86%.

Reduce overall annual energy costs reduced by 50%.

And increase the family’s resilience, comfort and health within the home.

Our philosophy is simple. Sustainability is all about the human outcomes. There is a huge benefit beyond the dollars in building a sustainable home. Our comfort is increased. Our well-being is improved. And our way of life is easier. This is the ARKATA way of living, being and doing. Homes that deliver utmost comfort. Homes that seamlessly integrate health. Homes that deliver an impactful vision.
