Approach

Early on, we study many options with you and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We use a range of presentation methods to review our ideas with you — loose sketches and clay models in the beginning; then sophisticated drawings and computer visualizations, and larger, detailed models as we move further into the design. Your project is a collaboration. You are the decision maker. We engage our ideas with yours to facilitate that vision. You’ve come to us for our professional vision and experience. We strive to bring out the best in your ideas. Whether your project is a house or an institution, there will be multiple voices offering opinions and informing the project. We are experienced team-builders who facilitate the discussions between all participants and guide the decision making necessary to create a beautiful and successful project.

We believe that throughout your project’s implementation, you should know where we are, and where we’re going. At the start of all projects, we develop a schedule for our work and dates for your reviews to keep everyone on a path to successful completion. We re-evaluate and update the schedule throughout the project. To manage budgets, we plan what we will produce, when it will be done, and what the costs will be. Like the project schedule, this plan is re-evaluated and updated throughout the project.

Within a broad spectrum of approaches, we create architecture that expresses your values and ideals, and meets your needs and lifestyle.
