Eco Principles

Our homes embrace the principles of eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness, without sacrificing beauty. We can ensure that each dwelling can be LEED certified, depending on the particular finishes, building systems, and site design an owner chooses. We can also work with Energy Star and local green rating systems.

Our Solaire was called the “greenest home in Chicago” by gaining the highest number of points through the Chicago Green Homes rating program.

Through the use of off-site technology, our homes create 75% less waste during construction as traditional site built homes.

mkDesigns homes are based on a set of five underlying eco principles. Click on the links to the right to learn more about the eco principles that we follow in the design and construction of mkDesigns homes and buildings.
