Design + Planning
Elemental Design
Our creations today are the projects of our children. Let them be launchpads for dreams, places of treasured memory. The sweetness and sanctuary of life begins at home in the daily ritual of living.
Commercial Collaborations
Our commercial projects start as all our projects do with deep listening. Our goal is to translate your dreams into well loved space that creates space and place for your dreams, your ambitions and the goals of your business, your company, your institution and all those who cross your threshold to flourish and thrive.
Planning is Stewardship
We are all the links in the chain between the past and the future. It is not just our belief but our responsibility to be the stewards of the future for future generations and to leave things better than we found them. Stewardship is responsible planning and management of resources than not only is sustainable but regenerative. We make the choices today that impact the future tomorrow for our children and grandchildren and it is our duty to leave them a better world than the one we inherited.
We are builders, makers, artists, masters of craft.
Things built with human hands carry the history of learning and mastery of craft. Let us help you realize your next project, and translate your vision into reality

We believe in…
• Dreaming Big
The problems of this century will not be solved by the same thinking that created them.
We work with individuals and communities to dream big,
through our process of deep listening we transform dreams into design & implementation solutions
• Building Craftsmanship
Design built with human hands carry the history of learning and mastery of craft.
We translate this into our architectural work as well as our planning work,
We support the trades and the transfer of building knowledge between generations
• Stewarding the Environment
We believe that we should leave things better than we found them
We work with local communities to create sustainable and regenerative infrastructure
that makes communities more resilient and creates solutions and options for future generations to live healthy productive lives.
• Listening Deeply
the best design comes from deep listening to our clients and to the communities
that we work with to translate their needs into the built environment
Our work ranges from renovations, additions and new construction of homes, restaurants, coffee shops to large scale interior design for colleges and universities, to the master planning of everything from riverwalks to wildlife sanctuaries to transit systems, downtowns, community cooperatives and regional parks.
