Design Philosophy

We work collaboratively with our clients to achieve a satisfying experience of the buildings and spaces we create – places of work, entertainment, and living.  On projects of every scale, we apply attention to existing conditions of the neighborhood, the building to be altered or expanded, and the surrounding landscape. This is the information that best guides the design in the earliest phases of the project as we listen and attend to the client’s problems, visions, and budgetary framework. An emphasis is made in combining trusted building methods with innovative technologies that hold promise for conservation, sustainability, and beauty.  We strive for architecture that reflects the client personality and the character of the site.
