We are particularly proud of the number of clients who have not only referred us to other clients but also have returned to us for additional projects.
The firm is a collaborative design studio oriented organization and has been proud of its success in designing structures in all Architectural styles, from the most detailed classical designs, to the refined simplicities of contemporary Architecture. While being design conscious we also focus on solving the problems of function, providing for ease of operation, conservation of energy and resources and utilizing low maintenance materials.
Our philosophy on construction documents comes from a long history of luxury custom residential work. These discerning clients expect a highly developed, thorough design. Each set of drawings must meet the expectations they be detailed, comprehensive and intelligible. When developing the construction documents we ask the question “what information is needed to build this project efficiently and effectively?” We have a designated QA/QC architect, with over 40 years of experience, who reviews all projects for integrity prior to release. Our construction documents are highly regarded by contractors and sub-contractors on their completeness. This process results in projects with a low percentage of field change orders and a greater ease of construction.
The firm has designed buildings using all types of construction in both traditional and innovative uses, including: wood frame; brick, block, and steel; poured and precast concrete, and feels this variety of experience has equipped us to select the type of construction most appropriate for each client's project.
The firm has maintained a general practice of architecture and believes it can better approach a client's needs by having a broad range of experience in many building types, construction methods and practices leading to innovative solutions to each client’s unique circumstances. We are proud of our past experience and look forward to using that experience to develop new ways of exceeding our clients’ needs.
