PHILOSOPHY

Animus – severitas – usas
Thought – rigor – skill

We believe in an architecture of applied knowledge. Aesthetics, function, and technology are all components of the design, and design is but one phase of architecture. It serves no one’s interest to draw an inspired picture that can’t be built, or to build a structure that does not inspire.

Expertise
Each of the principals has over ten years’ experience in projects of all scales and types. Our staff’s knowledge of architectural styles & history, building systems, public review processes, and construction procedures ensures that your interests are served from inspiration through occupancy.

Efficiency
We like to say that we have a big-firm engine in a small-firm chassis. You can be assured of having a principal directly involved throughout the process, supported by a knowledgeable and dedicated staff, without the drag of large overhead.

Collaboration
Good ideas do not spring fully-formed from one’s head; design is a process, not an event. We encourage involvement of the Owner, the contractor, and our staff and consultants as we find the best solution to the challenges presented to us.
