Design Philosophy & Approach

Our architectural inspiration flows from three main sources:

• the chosen site and its inherent natural and cultural features (sun, wind, water, land, history)
• the goals of the project, including the specific uses of the building/site and expected changes over time
• the creative interplay between client, design team, and community.

Drawing upon building strategies that have evolved over thousands of years, we integrate the latest materials, methods and proven technologies to conserve natural resources, lower operating costs, and enrich design.
