Curiosity

We begin by exploring ideas, looking for unanticipated angles and new relationships to bring to a project

The Unexpected

Our work rewards close looks and experience over time, revealing details like a surprising spatial solution or cast of light

Moments

Our studio is a family. We take trips into the field together as a team, learning about new practices and working with artisans from the ground up.

Community

We have a holistic sense of architecture, using active research and community participation to deepen our knowledge from branding to business plans.

Living Spaces

We strive to create places that are alive, and transform over time. We ask clients to dream, moving from imagined moments into built architecture.

Diversity

Our team members come from a range of backgrounds and pursue various personal interests, from jewelry-making to glass-blowing and real estate development.

Beyond

We value hands-on work, engaging with every step of the design process and every facet of a project.
