LaVerne Williams
Houston | Architect
Mr. Williams is a Houston-based registered architect whose practice has focused on green building for residential structures. He has worked since the 1970s to find better siting, design and materials for reduced energy use, lowered water consumption, more renewable resources, closer sourcing, less toxic exposure, and reduced up-front cost and long-term maintenance in architecture. He sees this as a personal conviction and a professional obligation, strengthened by growing concerns over climate change (it is estimated that the building industry is responsible for over 50% of the nation’s greenhouse gases).
