I am interested all things authentic. This interest formed at an early age in Northwest Colorado, where I explored the raw realities of the mountains. The landscapes of this region are rich with textures, sounds, and systems which are so truthful that they can only be understood through experience.
My approach to architecture springs from this idea.
I believe that, much like exploring the mountains, experiencing cultural and regional landscapes creates an intuition of "place"- a mindset where authentic architectural responses can take hold.
