Green Rascal Design

_Is your grass costing you a fortune? Would you like a beautiful garden, but think it takes too much time? Did you know the average yard could produce hundreds of pounds of food?

We specialize in transforming boring unhealthy lawns into grocery store alternatives. In these times when organic foods cost a fortune but you can't trust the chemicals and genetic engineering of conventional produce, your own yard is a great alternative.

Join the local food movement! Initial meetings are free!

Your home is your castle, but does it live up to your expectations? Do you struggle to keep up with the neighbors? Do your guests have trouble finding your home? Do you spend too much money on air-conditioning? Are you thinking about an addition or renovation? Have questions about updating appliances?

A Home Image Consultant might be right for you!

You know what an image consultant is. They help you evaluate your image and make suggestions, take you shopping and keep in touch to make sure you always look good. Home Image Consulting works just the same! We come to your home and help you evaluate your home's needs, make suggestions, specify products that can help and follow up to ensure that your home's image is indeed improving.

Your office is a machine, but is it running smoothly? Are customers avoiding your office? Can they find you? Do your employees complain about the temperature? Do they have enough space to do their work? Is your office wasting water, heat, air or electricity? Are you thinking about moving to a new location, but afraid it might really not be necessary? Do you wish you could be a better corporate citizen?

An Office Image Consultant can help you diagnose your true efficiency problems and come up with a plan to solve them! He or she will meet with you at your office to assess the situation. They will then create a new image of your office and draw up a list of proposed changes for achieving your new and better office image. They can even help guide you through development of a self-monitoring system to make sure your office stays on track.

This is our sustainability consultant. We focus on ideas for greening the world to make it a better place, including smart ways to improve buildings and interiors. Our mission at Green Rascal Design is to use the tools of design to promote a greener way of life for our friends. We want to help you harness the power of the sun, use the rain that falls on your buildings to water your plants and reuse the materials that are already at your site.

Sometimes all you need is a simple drawing of your lot and building footprint. In Urban settings, however, your surroundings can play a big role in the microclimate or subjective perception of passersby at your property. We've spent lots of time studying the urban environment, and can help you with making your site more user-friendly, pedestrian-oriented and generally safer for all.

If you just need to know what your options are and how to get there, a quick concept design is the way to go. Want to know how X,Y and Z would look? We'll draw it up.

The Blue Rascal is in charge of renderings. These pictures help us visualize everything the Green Rascal does, from simple concepts in cartoon format to photometrically accurate light studies. We also do simple logos and ads for good causes and small businesses, as well as random art for fun.

The Red Rascal doesn't actually design anything, but does the CAD work for small architecture firms. Right now we're helping a friend out with a residential project in this capacity.
