For over a decade of American trophy building, the upscale home has become a grandiose monument of conspicuous consumption. All of the timeless values that once drove the creation of the great American home (art, design and architecture) were traded for the prize of size.

Now, at last, a change is underway.

At Spire Architecture & Design, we are guided by legendary architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s vision and philosophy that “Less is More.” The new minimalism is the solution to the social, economical and environmental issues currently facing American homeowners: out of control housing prices, a distaste for cold, massive structures posing as homes and an increased determination to build and live in homes that are environmentally responsible. Our minimalist approach goes beyond traditional green housing and LEED certifications. Instead, it fuses quality craftsmanship, a timeless design, well thought out use of interior space, improved quality of life, decreased dependency on fossil fuels and greater long-term cost savings to bring you a true Net Zero Home.
