ROOT DOWN BUILDING COLLECTIVE (RDBC) is a collaborative group of Architects, Designers, Engineers, Builders, and consultants committed to delivering architectural services for projects focused on creating climate-smart structures. As a licensed architectural firm functioning as a non-profit organization, our goal is to offer architectural services, consulting, house plans, and additional support for any project that promotes sustainability and equity.

RDBC recognizes that achieving long-term, sustainable, and equitable housing solutions requires a holistic approach. The issues fueling our current housing crisis are complex and need to be tackled through various avenues. To create homes that are both carbon-negative and equitable, we must consider building materials, construction methods, as well as the policies and regulations that oversee them. We are adopting a collaborative strategy, partnering with an expanding network of regional professionals and stakeholders to promote regenerative, bio-regional building materials and methods through ongoing research, development, pilot projects, and beyond.
