Architect Sheila Gregg has established a new architecture firm, sol agua terra, specializing in sustainable design and green building.  "An architect's primary charge is to protect the public’s health, safety and welfare. As such, sol agua terra operates under the premise that it is our professional responsibility to educate our clients about environmentally responsible materials and methods and incorporate them into our projects to the best of our ability," says Gregg.

The corporation's philosophy, "holistic architecture," emphasizes the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts -- culture, environment, geography, economy, technology, spirituality, time, wellbeing, and purpose -- as they relate to the built environment. Gregg, a member of the American Institute of Architects and a LEED Accredited Professional, reveals that integration of cost-effective sustainable principles into today's commercial and residential projects is readily achievable given available technology, regulations and research.

Gregg, President, has over 10 years professional architecture experience in the DC Metro area, Cali. and Nev. Her pre-architecture experience includes over 15 years in real estate finance and development and 10 years in hospitality.
