Studio

Our focus is new construction, renovation, and adaptive re-use projects for Educational and Civic/Cultural institutions, as well as for Workplaces and private Residences.

Our objective is the creation of projects which serve their users well, which are clear in concept and detail, which are well-made, and which are realized with an economy of means.

We approach our work without pre-conceptions. Our process is characterized by questioning, listening, and understanding our clients’ needs and aspirations. We seek to discover– in close collaboration with our clients– the best design which serves all their objectives. We then realize the design with aesthetic intent, with technical rigor, and with conservation of resources. The entire process is guided by the continuous and substantive involvement of our principal.

We achieve these intentions in many roles: as prime architects, as design architects, and as specialized consultants.

Culture

Our non-hierarchical practice supports a collegial studio environment. We make every effort to assure that all team members are fully versed in every aspect of our projects, both in our office and in the offices of our consultants and collaborators. We encourage ever increasing responsibility and authorship among our team members. We also strive to keep everyone apprised of the work with weekly all-office meetings to share the status and lessons learned on other projects.

We nurture learning and professional growth through mentorship and daily collaboration. We participate in the Architecture Experience Program (AXP), encourage Architectural Registration and LEED Accreditation, and sponsor other professional development programs.
