Benefits of Working at Indigo

Indigo’s downtown Davis office

Indigo’s mission is to express the beauty and power of nature through design. Indigo, Hammond + Playle Architects LLP was founded by leaders in passive design and design-build.  

Principal Jon Hammond is a LEED-accredited architect and pioneer in the passive solar building and planning movement since the 1970’s. As founder of Living Systems, he helped author the first energy-conserving city building code in the United States. He also designed and built California’s first modern straw bale structure.

Principal Bruce Playle was an early innovator in the development of design-build for use in both public and private sectors, helping clients build high-quality, functional environments while realizing savings in energy, cost and time compared to conventional methods. 

As part of Indigo’s 10-person team, you will have a chance to work directly with Indigo’s Principal leadership as well as a talented and culturally diverse team. You will have the opportunity to work on all aspects of our exciting, climate-forward project portfolio and interface directly with clients and consultants. This is the place to truly learn how the future’s ZNE buildings get made.
