Carl's Website
Carl Welty has over 35 years of experience in the field of architecture. Carl provides full service architectural and planning. He collaborates with planners, landscape architects, and other design professionals with extensive history in the State of California.
Carl finds creative architectural solutions to ecological and cultural problems by incorporating commonsense technical and structural expertise inspired by nature and an ambitious vision of modern art, to create places that connect people to nature and conserve energy and other resources.
Carl is committed to creating an architecture that connects human beings to nature, not as outside observers but as full partners in the complex web of nature’s closed-loop systems. Designing in partnership with nature means more than building efficient buildings that consume fewer resources: wasting less is good, but we can do better than just wasting less. Carl is a proponent of regenerative design, the idea that we can create buildings and communities that generate more resources (energy, water, and building materials), and at the same time restore native habitat.
Carl's work focuses on affordable, energy-efficient design and durable, resilient building systems. Carl advocates leveraging natural systems including solar orientation and climate appropriate principles to create cost-effective solutions for energy efficiency of structures with little or no increase in construction costs, and building durable, low-maintenance, resilient structures (increased fire, mold, and termite resistance) by incorporating well-tested alternative construction materials. Moreover, designing with natural systems can inspire beautiful, meaningful architecture.
