VALUES
Quality
We specialize in creating extraordinary architecture. Extraordinary is not the same as excessive. A modern home design that is excessive requires excessive disturbance, excessive material consumption, and excessive funds. From commercial architecture to custom modern homes we carefully design only what is needed to fulfill our clients desires. Elegantly designing only what is necessary is our definition of extraordinary modern architecture.
Craftsmanship
We are craftspeople and tend to be obsessive about the quality of our architectural design work. We relentlessly search for the best design solution using iterative tools such as sketches, models, and drawings. As we create detailed construction drawings we carefully consider the most expressive, logical, and elegant way to construct the design. We strive to simultaneously think like architects and the craftspeople who will build the building. Sometimes we hold a pencil and sometimes a hammer.
Wisdom
We have been creating architecture a long time. Decades of experience and study have given us wisdom. The most valuable thing we offer our clients is our understanding of how and why people choose to create architecture. The focus of our wisdom is to help our clients create high quality, environmentally friendly, commercial and residential buildings.
Relationship
We strive to develop great relationships with our clients. Creating custom architecture should be a joyous endeavor. We fulfil commitments to our client’s schedules and needs. However, due to our personalities and philosophies we do not specialize in architectural services that are cheap and fast.
Sustainability
We care about our environment. Creating lasting new custom architecture as well as restoring and modernizing existing buildings is fundamental to caring for our world. Architecture should last hundreds of years. A good home should be cherished by many people. Truly durable and beautiful architecture lives many lives. Thinking long term, we believe, is the antidote to the disposable culture that is killing our world.
