Clinica Verde

Welcome to Clínica Verde

Thanks for stopping by – we appreciate your interest in our work. Clínica Verde is creating an environmentally sustainable prototype for a health clinic in Nicaragua that can be replicated throughout the world.

This nonprofit effort joins experienced professionals in the areas of healthcare and the built environment to address and combat the problems related to health among the impoverished. Our work is twofold: to respond to the health needs of the community while designing a structure for clinical care that incorporates the highest possible standard in sustainable building practices and good design.

We are guided by the belief that everything we do and produce as a response to poverty and human suffering should acknowledge the dignity and potential of all life while demonstrating respect for the shared resources of our world.

The architect William McDonough wrote that "design is a signal of intention." In that sense, the design of the clinic prototype should signal love and respect, a shared sense of responsibility and awareness. It should manifest an intention rooted in our faith of interconnectedness and interdependency. It is a powerful opportunity to express gratitude and hope in the world.
