Our work is informed by a deep conviction that the social and personal needs of people should be at the center of the act of building, and that architecture should evidence a gracious neighborliness with its natural and human surroundings.

In particular we are guided by the following goals:

Create Places of Meaning
Places that foster an awareness of and pride for the uniqueness of a setting and its inhabitants.

Strengthen the Bonds of a Community
Places that inspire people to aspire to the highest of personal and civic ideals.

Offer a Rich Variety of Conditions for Inhabitation
Places that offer a healthy range of interrelationships between people with one another and with the environment in which they reside.

Celebrate the Variety and Beauty of Materials and Light
Places that demonstrate, in material, light and craft, the richness and beauty so abundant in our natural world. 

Manage Budgetary and Material Resources with Respect and Responsibility
Places that are built within sustainable resources and inspire by means of an elegant frugality.
