Brief description

Sander Architects, LLC, in existence since 1987, is known for award-winning modern design, innovative use of materials, and strong leadership in the green movement. The office has completed dozens of buildings from single-family residences and multi-family housing developments to office buildings, institutional and adaptive reuse projects. The firm’s 'total environment' approach has also resulted in the design of fixtures, lighting and furniture.

Sander Architects brainchild, HYBRID HOUSE part prefab, all custom™ is an approach to construction that has been making waves with its combination of prefab and standard construction. This brings the efficiencies of established prefab manufacturers to their buildings, each one designed exclusively for the client. The HYBRID HOUSE approach is cost efficient, provides lower per-foot construction and is extremely green. The firm has used the part prefab, all custom™ concept in projects ranging in scale from 2000 to 30000 square feet in rural, suburban and urban settings.
