As an experienced advocate and expert in coordinating the built environment with watershed health, Duvivier’s architectural practice approaches every project with innovative, logical, and holistic design principles. The outcome demonstrates systems-thinking; the integration of water, habitat and natural resources, with architecture and technology.  

Duvivier is a dedicated professional in the emerging field of watershed management, seamlessly blending it with the built environment. Through ingenious solutions to managing water resources in and around buildings, she demonstrates how strategic design solutions can enhance water quality, significantly reduce energy consumption, and create opportunities for wildlife. According to the California Energy Commission, one-fifth of the state's energy is allocated to moving water, while the U.S. utilizes 13% of its total energy annually for water treatment, transport, and heating. By designing buildings and landscapes that prioritize water conservation and reuse, Duvivier’s projects not only protect precious water supplies, but also contribute to energy efficiency, and habitat creation, making a meaningful impact on both local ecosystems and broader sustainability efforts. 

Isabelle Duvivier is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. She is licensed to practice architecture in the state of California #C 26807, and received her Masters Degree in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1992.
