Goals: pleased clients, better communities, beautiful functional structures. 

We are talented generalists, happiest when a project improves a landscape or urban precinct and - in all seriousness - makes life on earth a little bit better.

We believe architectural design is a personal and professional conversation between us, our clients, the profession, and the public. We believe the strongest projects are a forged cultural alloy, a bit like Damascus steel: complex, strong, iterative, heterogeneous, permanent, demanding commitment and talent, utterly reliable. And, uh, beautiful. Out of many, one.

Our practice is remarkably diverse, serving public and private clients locally and nationally. Our work embraces scales from regional community planning to furnishings and interior design. We admire old buildings and work hard to care for them - and have won awards doing so - but the world is not what it was yesterday. Our freshly minted work is planted firmly in the present tense.

Specialties: Theaters and performing arts, historic rehabilitation, higher education facilities, commercial office interiors, residences, campus and precinct master planning.
