Quality and Craft
Our commitment to design excellence and sustainability naturally leads us to an unwavering focus on quality and craft. We know that every decision—from a building’s envelope to its smallest hardware finish—shapes both the experience and long-term durability of our spaces.
This emphasis on craft reflects both our values and the practical demands of our buildings. Many of our projects must withstand considerable use while providing dignity and inspiration to all those who experience them.
By focusing on quality and craft at every scale, we can create spaces that attain true sustainability, maintaining their utility, relevance, and beauty for generations.
Crafted for Context
We know buildings are successful only if they are equitable and in dialogue with their physical and cultural contexts.
Through extensive iteration and close collaboration with clients, we thoughtfully calibrate color, materiality, light, proportion, and flow—designing from scratch to create places uniquely suited to their purpose and the communities they call home.
Materials Matter
We select materials with both immediate comfort and lasting impact in mind. Beyond environmental considerations—thermal, visual, and acoustic—we carefully weigh each material’s health impact and durability. This attention to both human wellbeing and material longevity helps create spaces that are built to serve and to last.
Post-Occupancy Analysis
After many of our largest projects, we conduct a thorough post-occupancy analysis to show us how our buildings perform and how people engage with them. These insights strengthen each new project, creating a continuous cycle of learning and improvement.
