We curate spaces that seamlessly integrate sustainability into our design ethos

Sustainability isn’t just about what a space looks like; it’s about how it’s built, how it functions, and how it supports the people who live in it and the world around it. The design and construction industry is responsible for a significant share of global emissions and material waste. That’s why every choice we make—from finishes to furnishings, carries weight, and we approach each one with intention.

At Lisa Kooistra Designs, sustainability means more than eco-friendly materials: it’s a way of thinking. We prioritize quality over excess, source locally when possible, and use low-VOC finishes and healthier materials to create interiors that are built to last and feel good to live in. We also embrace a biophilic approach to design, bringing natural light, organic textures, and greenery into the home to strengthen the connection between indoor living and the natural world. Because we believe the spaces we spend time in should not only be beautiful but also restorative.

Our goal is to make sustainable design accessible and practical, not performative. Whether you’re taking small steps or committed to a fully conscious build, we guide you through thoughtful, informed choices that align with your lifestyle and values. A well-designed home should support your well-being, reflect what you care about, and tread lightly on the planet we all share.
