Firm Description

We believe architecture allows us to shape the world we want to live in, and good architecture elevates the human experience. Good places foster good living and generate better communities. So, we seek to design places that enable, enrich, and inspire human endeavor. We believe architecture is richest when informed by the breadth and complexity of human experience. So, we look to tradition to inform our designs, imbue our buildings with deeper cultural meanings, and give spirit to the places we make. But tradition is not static, it does not merely reflect the past. Rather, it is continually evolving to remain current and relevant, reflecting the best of a culture. So, we write the next chapter in tradition by creating buildings that are of their time and place, reflecting the values and purposes of their inhabitants, the present culture of the broader community, and the impact of the geographic locale. Our work is guided by Classical design values. With every project, we strive to fulfill the timeless triumvirate of firmness, commodity, and delight first described by Vitruvius; or in more modern terms durability, utility, and beauty.
