ABOUT

3iVE LLC, pronounced /THRiVE/, operates in two distinct realms: Building Envelope Services and Architectural Design. Each set of services shares our passion for quality design and construction, as well as our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability.

3iVE  is committed to improving our collective quality of of life by producing beautifully conceived and crafted buildings for our clients and users. We believe that buildings with the right attributes can dramatically improve the lives of their inhabitants, as well as those of their neighbors and fellow citizens.

It is a commonly cited industry statistic that approximately 40% of the United States’ energy usage comes from buildings. Can you imagine a world where 40% of US energy was produced by buildings? Can we possibly achieve this? Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Let’s begin by:

  • Prioritizing Energy Efficiency in Design
    1. Maximize conservation techniques such as air and vapor barriers, thermal layers, and conductive isolation
    2. Appropriately deploy energy producing systems such as solar hot water and electrical arrays while utilizing highly efficient HVAC and energy recovery systems.
  • Working closely with construction teams to verify the viability of designs and details before they are built
  • Verifying built results with expert observation and testing to make sure buildings perform in accordance with their Owner’s needs and requirements.
