Alamo Architects

http://www.alamoarchitects.com/
Nicki Melleado and Mike McGlone greeted us at their offices to tour us through their building and discuss how they re-developed a former industrial warehouse into a LEED Silver certified building.  This is a very nicely done building.  They have a 6500 gallon cistern that collects rain water and condensate reducing the need for 78% of potable water; 95% of all construction waste was diverted from the landfill through innovative reuse like the concrete fence pictured below; 15% of materials from recycled content; 26% of all material were derived from regional sources and 91% of all spaces are naturally daylit.
