ARCHITECTURE - Key Persons
Kyle is a graduate of Kansas State University and has studied and practiced sustainable, environmentally sensitive design and construction since the late 1970's. Kyle's pioneering product & design work with Princeton Energy Group/Harrison Fraker Architects involved commercial and residential design/build projects that included many techniques now found embedded in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. This experience also included experimentation with principles now found in the resurgent Passive House design and construction standards as well as development of insulating solar shading systems for passive solar thermal control.
Kyle is an expert in the design and construction of all housing types and, in 1996, was the first architect to win an Equality, Dignity and Independence award from Easter Seals and the American Institute of Architects for the design of two prototype group homes for folks with special needs. With insights learned in work with energy, the environment, disabilities and construction, he is now focused on design for people with all abilities using the principles of Supportive Architecture.
