BARLEY & PFEIFFER ARCHITECTS has enjoyed success designing a select number of award-winning professional offices, recreational centers, restaurants, educational facilities, and fine custom residences throughout the United States. The firm is proud to be recognized nationally as pioneers in the environmentally responsive green building movement. A full-fledged commitment to this movement was the founding basis of the firm over two decades ago. Understanding that a structure can be built with minimal impact on natural resources is key to our succcess. BPA was founded in 1989 by principals Alan K. Barley and Peter L. Pfeiffer. Bringing different strengths to design, Alan’s ability to hear what clients want and utilize innovative ideas to create elegant spaces, compliments Peter’s strong building science background and practical approach to the building process. Their core competitive advantage is the blending of high performance design with building science innovations. BPA is a LEED certified firm that practices “green by design”. Believing that 90% of effective green building decisions happen in the first 10% of the design process supports the importance of regionally appropriate design decisions and building systems integration. Rather than simply making sustainable material choices BPA goes beyond the present green building paradigm to provide sustainable architecture by thought, not simply by checklist.
