Our Values

01
Function

Making sure the building reacts to its context, the program at hand, and the vernacular building systems available - that's the first step. Architecture deals with issues of human ergonomics at every scale, at every phase. Whether it's mirroring stylist vanities at a hair salon to accomodate both right-handed and left-handed employees, or creating flexible spaces that can serve multiple functions.. everyday practicality is at the core of our decision making.

02
Durability

The 'devil is in the detail' has never rung truer than in building design and construction. Materials alone cannot carry a building into the future without well-resolved, climate-sensitive detailing. Looking to cultures across the world offers a profound lesson — and a reminder of how American building culture so often defaults to a cheapest-and-fastest mentality.

03
Beauty

The most beautiful objects in nature and in design are the ones that are completely shaped by their purpose. Buildings are no different, though the design factors are numerous and sometimes entirely unseen. Beauty is in honest structure and honest materials.

04
Clarity

Managing all of the possibilities, constraints, budgets, timelines...requires clear thinking and clear communication. Being able to triage the tasks and priorities of an architectural endeavor is crucial to getting to the finish line.
