about us.

We design living spaces that deliver the highest level of comfort, beauty and joy while respecting, preserving and replenishing environmental and human resources.

our values

reuse

By re-imagining and upgrading existing resources, combined with low-impact new construction, we help our clients shape spaces that are fundamentally sustainable - spaces that evoke love by honoring their past, inspire the present through thoughtful design and use of materials, and are designed and built to age well into the future.

reduce

We believe that size matters - and smaller is often better. We "right-size" the spaces we create, preserving resources, making them easy to use, and serving all needs comfortably and gracefully. By stacking functions and looking at the whole life cycle of a building and it's occupants lets us create spaces that are flexible now and adaptable over time.

recycle

We think of the spaces we produce as parts of our ecosystem. Our buildings incorporate and participate in the natural cycles of energy, water, heating, cooling, growth and renewal.

Because our real habitat is not our built environment - it is the natural world around us.

rejoyce

Beauty, elegance and delight are integral to all that we do. We strive to create spaces that people love, care for, and will want to preserve over generations - because the most sustainable building is one that endures. And the best thing that we can create are occupants that want to be stewards of the places we touch.
