Modern.

Modern means something different to everyone. For us, it is more of an approach to building than an aesthetic ideal. Our work prioritizes the essential elements of a project and is void of superficial ornamentation. Each project is a balanced composition of clean, consistent details. The result is a minimalist, responsible design that is straightforward to build and cost effective. Less is More

Responsible.

Building is a significant commitment of time, money, effort and resources. We accept that responsibility with passion and care. This means creating beautiful, functional spaces meant to last. This means understanding and working rigorously within the financial structure of a project. This means creating buildings that minimize their impact on the environment. This means listening to our clients, collaborators and community to create places that have value OUTSIDE our studio. Delightfully Grounded

Sustainable.

We approach building as a partnership with the land and seek solutions specific to their place. Our work employs energy efficient systems, passive solar design and utilizes natural materials. Our base level homes are environmentally responsible, without compromise. And we welcome even more aggressive sustainability goals such as passive house design, net zero/positive or living building challenge. Building for the Future

Specific.

We listen to you, your goals, your property and all the forces impacting the place we’re designing for you. The result is something uniquely yours and one of a kind. You’ll feel how it purposefully works, in your place and with your lifestyle. It couldn’t exist anywhere else for anyone else. Like a Glove

Indoor / Outdoor.

A consistent theme in our work is a strong connection between building and landscape. Homes should be rooted in context and respond to setting. Healthy homes connect people to the outdoors, with views, natural light and ventilation. By blurring the distinction between inside and OUTSIDE, we encourage people’s inherent desire to connect with nature. Connect with Nature

Craft.

The digital age has seen a disappearance of craft. There are fewer people making things and, seemingly, less demand for custom solutions. Our work celebrates the dying art of making custom moments with specificity. Our process promotes early and consistent design collaborations with the builders, fabricators and suppliers who bring our work to life. Keep Craft Alive

Fun.

Your project, and the process of creating it, can and should be enjoyable. It’s a lot of fun working together to dream, design and create a home specifically for you. Touching materials, virtually inhabiting your space before it’s built, having an impulse and then seeing it come to life are standard to our process and will put a smile on your face. Creating something together forges a bond of shared pride. The ongoing relationships we have with our clients is easily the most rewarding part of what we do. Enjoy the Moment
