Houses
Transformative Modern Home Architecture
We design each custom home with lasting character and with a deep connection to its unique site. We thrive under the challenges of designing modern, sustainable builds that complement surrounding historic areas.
Sustainable Home Design Elements
Sustainable architecture goes beyond reducing environmental impact. It is about creating homes that are not only energy efficient and resilient to the changing global climate, but also comfortable and harmonious with their native surroundings. By using strategies such as 'energy retrofits', 'wetlands preservation', and use of 'reclaimed and sustainable products', these homes become both functional and environmentally conscious.
The RUHL | JAHNES team approaches each custom home with a deep respect for its unique site and context. Our portfolio of residential architecture includes prime examples of our approach to custom architecture for joyful living. From Hawaii to Cape Cod, with a focus on Boston and the surrounding areas, all of our projects prioritize attention to detail and sustainability regardless of the location.
