Architecture is often thought of as a visual art, but at Renew Architecture & Design we also believe it is the art of hearing: listening to what a client wants and needs, what a site and its environment speak for, and making what is heard become what is seen.
Our design values start with your values- what you care about and what you need, your budget and your vision. Collaboration with the client, a healthy relationship with the builder and all those involved with the project, as well as attention to detail, are the tools we use to achieve successful projects and satisfied clients.
We bring to the table our commitment to the basics of good durable design, carefully thought out spaces, and aesthetics that will stand the test of time. We stay informed about the latest thinking in building science so that your building can be energy efficient; and we also work with clients interested in alternative energy options or “green” materials. While we stay current with best practices, we also support historic preservation and adaptive re-use of existing buildings, and are familiar with traditional building methods such as timber framing, and traditional methods of building design, such as taking advantage of wind and sun with passive solar design and careful landscaping.
At Renew, we value economy of space and materials, with design that allows for quality on a budget, but we appreciate too that sometimes what is called for is a grand gesture. Whether you are ready to renew your existing home or business with a renovation, plan your community or build your dream home, Renew Architecture & Design is ready to hear your ideas and help you build your vision.
