Roy Prince Architectural Design Studio ~ Santa Barbara |
| Roy Prince Architect designs additions, remodels and small new homes that are energy efficient, healthy and elegantly simple. Roy Prince Architect is a design studio and environmental consultancy dedicated to green architecture and high performance, environmentally inspired small green homes and work places. Permaculture ethics and principles inspire our work. Roy Prince Architect creates healthy and nurturing places and spaces for people to live and work. We employ sacred geometries, keen observation and intuition in our design methodologies to achieve place and space that reveals and releases the human spirit. My goal is to combine client needs and wants with sustainable design principles using current best practices and age old materials and processes to create beautiful and healthy living and working places and spaces sensitive to humans and place, and the environment.
