Firm Philosophy:
Quiet and Site-Deferential Architecture
The projects we design aim to create timeless architecture that is defined by simple, well-detailed, and tranquil living spaces designed with clean lines and clarity of thought. Our hope is that the architecture will serve as a quiet, peaceful, and deferential backdrop.
Site Response + Indoor-Outdoor Connection
We strive to create an architectural vocabulary for all of our projects that takes cues from the site’s natural setting, topography, and climatic conditions and character. The spaces are conceived to facilitate the extension of the living spaces from inside to outside through the use of the patios, landscape, and outdoor rooms that blur the boundaries of indoor and outdoor living.
California Modern
We are inspired and indebted to the mid-century Californian modern vernacular that emphasizes architectural connection to nature, creation of spaces with abundant light and transparency, and creation of architectural beauty through material qualities and honest articulation of structure.
Sustainable Future
We are committed to delivering clients technology-forward, sustainable, and energy-efficient homes that are easy to maintain and built to last. The architecture is grounded in being responsive to solar orientation, adaptable to new sustainable technologies, and responsive to rising sea levels. The architecture we create relies on natural and sustainable materials, passive cooling + heating strategies, and constant research and understanding of new sustainable building methods and innovation in the field.
Budget and Value-Conscious Design Process
Our most important commitment and responsibility to our clients is to create successful projects that make fulfilling artistic statements as well as meet their budget and project program. We rely on creativity and experience to deliver design that can accommodate budget constraints and we strive to provide project management, communication, and guidance that makes the process streamlined and efficient.
