design philosophy

Listening to our clients is at the center of our design philosophy.  Our job is to elegantly fulfill our clients functional requirements in a way that is both cost effective and inspiring.  To do that we listen.  We listen to the client, to the budget, to the site, to the environment, to building officials, and to contractors. With this as a foundation, we develop straight forward design responses that are refined into elegantly practical buildings.

We believe that good design transcends architectural style.  Our designs are concerned with the free flow of space, extensive use of natural light, maximizing the connection of a building to its surrounding environment, and using architectural forms and materials in new and interesting ways.
