ROLF KIELMAN, AIA, LEED AP

Master of Architecture, University of PennsylvaniaBachelor of Arts, Dartmouth CollegeDiploma in Furniture Design, Skolen for Brugkunst (Denmark)

“I was born in Holland, immigrated to Canada as a youth, and with the exception of work and study abroad, have spent my adult life in Vermont. While studying in Holland and Scandinavia, I developed an interest in sustainable design and I learned how to express a people’s culture through design. New England has similar architectural traditions….build what is needed, let the craft of building be expressed, include a dose of understated whimsy”

Sustainable design is at the core of our practice at TruexCullins. From the design of the Church Street Marketplace in the 1970s to the positive energy and LEED-certified buildings of today, we engage our clients and demonstrate the benefits of green design. In doing so, we deliver beautiful, high performance buildings and interiors that illustrate how sustainability enhances their lives and our environment
