Alex Scott Porter A + D is a woman-owed firm that has been creating residential projects since 2001.

HOMES are the firm’s life-blood. We have a sustained interest in how people really live, and create houses and apartments that can adapt and change as they grow. Our work is grounded in a sense of place, in sympathy and support of the lifestyle of our clients.

The firm seeks out collaboration with artists and craftspeople in the field to find the unconventional solution. This practice has led to a fluency in re-using and re-purposing materials and processes. We have developed a modern approach to design that is enhanced by a sophisticated palette of finishes. We value skillful detailing and are fluent in juxtaposing the reclaimed, newly fabricated, rough and refined in support of this aesthetic. This flows naturally with our interest in sustainable building -- as we find beauty in the eccentricities of new technology and we appreciate materials that look better with age. It is the firm’s belief that the most sustainable homes are those that age into natural beauty and serve their function over the long-haul.
