The first goal of our firm is to satisfy our clients. Our desire to do interesting and beautiful work is by definition a component of that satisfaction. As a design firm, we focus on the creation of buildings which add beauty and utility to the experience of site both from within and without. Our buildings (their placement, orientation, layout, form, structure, and technology) aim to work closely with their topography (its material character as well as its own set of natural places), vegetation, local climate, drainage, solar characteristics, views, etc. The functionality (in terms of usable layout and appropriate material choices) and the economy of construction and aesthetics are also inherent components of this focus. From our point of view, good architecture requires a careful knitting together of all of its multitude of aspects into a unified position which reflects the needs and desires of the end user.
