Design + Planning
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.
