pwg architecture is looking at our homes in innovative ways for living today and in the future. Principal Pamela Wadsworth Goode, AIA founded pwg architecture in 2008, with a focus on designing custom residential projects using sound, sustainable building practices. pwg’s designs are informed by a keen sense of natural light and materials, and the vision to work with new materials and emergent te
chnologies in forward-thinking, responsible, resource-efficient ways. Pam sees the success of each project through the eyes of her clients⎯it is extremely important to her that her clients are happy with the process and the end result. Pam takes a hands-on approach throughout the design and construction of her projects, leading a holistic, collaborative process that integrates building systems into the design at an early stage. She truly enjoys providing clients with a deep understanding of how their buildings use and create resources. A large part of pwg’s practice is working within the community to make urban dwellings liveable. Having a family provides Pam with deep insight into the possibilities and benefits of transforming these homes, and gives her a direct understanding of how existing spaces can be reworked and expanded for today’s lifestyles. Pam is a licensed architect in the state of California with experience working on residential, retail, institutional and corporate projects. Along with many of the leading building professionals in the formative green movement, she first became involved in strawbale construction and has worked on a number of strawbale buildings in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino counties. She served as Co-Director of the California Strawbuilding Association from 1998-99, and co-edited “The Building Officials’ Guide to Straw-bale Construction” published in 1999. Most recently Pam was one of the founders and developers of the Claire Lilienthal Green Schoolyard program.
