Assessing a site’s unique character & integrating distinctive design that maximizes potential is just the beginning for Kent Beierle, an innovative architect based in New Mexico. Through regenerative design principles, Kent guides his clients in a process of understanding their environment, needs and a sustainable lifestyle. Satisfaction for Kent is achieved when he and his client create a project that actively engages the environment and contributes to a harmonious synthesis of the built and natural world.

Kent’s desire to work with colleagues who shared his ecologic values led him to co-​found edi, a boutique sustainability architecture and consulting firm located in Albuquerque.

When not designing, Kent shares his intensity for sustainable design through speaking engagements.
