Every project starts with a conversation and ends with something that'll outlive us all. Here's how we make it happen.
Look, architecture isn't just about making things look pretty—though that's definitely part of it. It's about solving real problems, respecting the land we build on, and creating spaces that actually work for the folks using them. We've been doing this long enough to know that cookie-cutter solutions don't cut it. Every site, every client, every challenge needs its own approach.
Your home shouldn't look like everyone else's. We've designed everything from compact urban infills to sprawling family estates, and honestly, the small projects are often just as challenging as the big ones. Space planning, natural light, flow between rooms—these aren't abstract concepts, they're what makes your morning coffee routine either frustrating or fantastic.
What's included:
We'll work with your budget, your lifestyle, and that weird sloped lot you're convinced is impossible to build on. Trust us, we've seen weirder.
Commercial spaces need to work hard for their money. Whether it's a retail storefront that needs to catch eyes or an office that keeps people productive without feeling like a cubicle farm, we get the balance between aesthetics and ROI. We've done restaurants, offices, mixed-use developments—places where people actually want to spend time.
Our approach:
Commercial projects move fast and there's usually money on the line. We respect deadlines and don't disappear when contractors have questions at 7am.
This is where things get interesting. Sustainable design isn't about slapping some solar panels on the roof and calling it green—though panels are great when they make sense. It's about passive solar orientation, proper insulation, material choices, water management, the whole ecosystem. We've been obsessed with this stuff since before it was trendy.
Consulting services:
We'll help you figure out what actually makes sense for your project vs. what's just greenwashing. Sometimes the most sustainable choice is surprisingly simple.
Architecture doesn't stop at the walls. How a space functions inside is just as crucial as how it looks from the street. We work through furniture layouts, circulation patterns, lighting design—all the stuff that determines whether a space actually works or just looks good in photos. Function first, then we make it beautiful.
Planning scope:
We're not interior decorators—we're architects who care about how you'll actually live or work in the space. Big difference.
Old buildings have character that you just can't replicate, but they also come with challenges—outdated systems, weird structural quirks, heritage designation requirements. We love this work because it's part detective story, part puzzle. You've gotta respect what's there while making it work for modern life. It's a balancing act.
Renovation expertise:
These projects take patience and a love for craftsmanship. Rushed heritage work always looks wrong. We've got the relationships with specialized contractors who actually know what they're doing.
LEED certification isn't just bureaucratic box-checking—though there's definitely paperwork involved. It's a framework that pushes projects to perform better. We've guided clients through Silver, Gold, and Platinum certifications. The process can seem overwhelming, but we know the shortcuts and what actually moves the needle on your rating.
Certification support:
We've been LEED Accredited Professionals for years. The system has its quirks, but it does drive real performance improvements. Plus, it can help with financing and market value.
Every project's different, but there's a rhythm to what we do. First meeting's always casual—coffee, site walk, whatever makes sense. We listen more than we talk because your needs drive everything. Then we sketch, refine, detail, and shepherd the thing through permits and construction. We don't vanish once the drawings are done. Good architecture requires follow-through.
Let's Talk About Your Project
That's totally normal. Most projects blend a few of these services together. Give us a call or shoot us an email and we'll figure it out together. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a conversation about what you're trying to do.
