Our design process involves close examination of every aspect of a project. In order to build sensitively within a particular place, we study its natural features as thoroughly as the neighboring built environment. Also important to the spirit of a place are its history, culture, and the people who make up the surrounding community. Our inclusive process utilizes hand sketches, computer drawings and extensive in-house physical modeling to illustrate and refine all design decisions.

No less important to the process is close communication with the client. We work with each individual from the inception of an idea through construction. Our collaborative process allows the client and the architect to discover what the parameters of the project should be, and from there we work together to realize our common goal. The project is a synthesis of the client’s sensibilities and our design expertise.

Sometimes the most appropriate design involves an innovative, contemporary solution, while in other instances we adhere to traditional building precedents. Some of our designs transform their surroundings while others are seamless additions that reinforce the existing architecture or natural features.

The common element in all our projects is excellence in design achieved through thorough attention to detail. Whether we defer to context and history or break the mold with inventive designs, our ultimate goal is to create architecture that enhances its sense of place.
