We recognize that good clients are the keys to interesting design opportunities – clients who are seeking the same level of excellence in design and service that we seek to deliver. Once we are committed to a project, we are committed to its success at every stage – from meeting the clients' budget and schedule requirements to inventive detailing and material selection.

We look at each project as a series of collaborations, between the architect and the client, between the new design work and the existing context, between the materials and the structural considerations.

All of our projects emphasize natural light, the connections between the interior spaces and the gardens beyond, generous proportions and an ease of living. We bring in sustainable materials and technologies as part of the design palette, and have been fortunate to have clients interested in an array of green alternatives from photovoltaic installations, to straw bale structures, to salvaged materials and fixtures.
