Kristina Held
Owner
Kristina is partner at Insight Architects since September 2014, when her company Grun – Sustainable Architecture and Design, merged with Insight Architects.
Kristina has over 20 years of experience in the field of architecture, and is particularly committed to sustainable design in educational, office and living environments. She has a professional degree in architectural engineering from Germany and a Masters in Architecture from UNCC. Kristina has worked with design teams as a sustainability consultant. In her view, every building can, be sustainable by using an integrative design approach and client involvement. Sustainable design in architecture has as its goal not only to preserve the natural world, but to nurture sustainable communities by connecting them to each other and to the world around us.
Kristina believes in the power the built environment has on the quality of life for current and future generations and sees great value in researching unique design solutions for projects of any size and type.
