Green Architecture
Langley
and Associates Architects
holds a keen interest in employing environmentally sensitive products and
design strategies in building design. The firm is constantly searching for
partnerships with clients whose goals embrace “green” objectives.
We believe there are many opportunities to employ green design to every
project. These opportunities range from the use of modern, high efficiency
products to conservation-oriented energy consumption strategies, to even
the simple renovation; or “recycling” of existing buildings. We
believe everyone has this responsibility and opportunity to building “a
little lighter” on the earth, and in big ways and small, every design
can make an effort to consume fewer resources. Sensitive site planning, as
well, can make significant impacts on natural resources, and here, too,
opportunities arise for “green” planning.

Langston Black Real Estate Offices
Greer, SC
The offices of Langston Black Real Estate involved the renovation of upper
level spaces in three buildings that were combined into one contiguous
space. All the walls, floors and ceilings were stripped to original
materials to expose brick walls and hardwood pecan floors. The original
exit stairs were revised and a new monumental stair with a two level lobby
was designed at the main entry. The renovations also included new heating
and air conditioning systems with exposed duct work. The buildings exterior
was not altered or modified and, for the most part, remains historically
intact.
