Steven Baczek Architect - A Nationally Recognized Architect has been in the building industry for over 37 years. Throughout my career, I have designed hundreds of projects across the spectrum of energy performance and sustainability, with a distinct notoriety is the residential construction sector. My commitment to my clients equates beautiful aesthetics with trusted durability, health, comfort, environmental responsibility and energy efficiency. My work extends beyond the Northeast where I call home, across the United States to serve clients with passions that align with mine.
Notable projects include numerous Passive Homes (some of which were the first examples in respective areas), Zero Energy Homes, and many Deep Energy Retrofits/Renovations to include the very first certified Passive House Retrofit in the country. I have also designed over 60 LEED Platinum homes. Many of these projects have become industry examples to provide a better understanding of industry perspective, and the ability to see beyond. While these projects highlight some of my work – my philosophy and passion are knitted into every project I do. It’s that Passion that motivates me to continually move our industry forward.
