Architecture

We strive to provide a home or work environment that will meet the unique needs and dreams of each client.  Every design is created within the context of each client’s preferences, the building requirements and the site.  From these an aesthetic vocabulary is developed that harmonizes the architectural elements, materials, finishes, and proportions to form the design theme or style. Our design philosophy can perhaps best be distilled into the following goals that govern our approach to architecture:

Architectural Goals:

  • Balance functional requirements, life style, values, budget and emotional expectations within the design.
  • Integrate each building with its particular setting, as though it always existed on the site or in the neighborhood.
  • Create a floor plan that flows naturally within and to the exterior, bringing in light and enhancing the possibilities and use of each space.
  • Achieve timeless design and sustainability with organic and natural materials.
  • Integrate and express the structural systems within the aesthetic theme.
  • Proportion and balance each space and design element within the whole.
  • Integrate details and finishes with spatial and structural elements to create a unique depth and character.
  • Create concise drawings and specifications of the design parameters to communicate clearly to the contractor and vendors so they can successfully and efficiently transform the client’s dreams into reality.
  • On site involvement throughout the construction process.
