Point of Entry:
Sustainable Architecture + Development

Process:

We advocate a team approach. Assembling a team early in the process allows us to troubleshoot problems that might otherwise prove more costly down the road.

We pay particular attention in melding the design with site-specific characteristics such as micro-climate, topography, building orientation, drainage, vegetation, light and views. In developing our designs, we also consider the local community and appropriate building technologies.

Experience has shown that it is advantageous to involve a contractor early in the project. Before overly detailed architectural documents are developed and project costs spiral upwards, a contractor develops a preliminary estimate, helping owners make informed decisions on the front end.

Buildings should be appealing on a multitude of levels, embodying both a “sense of place” in the landscape and in the hearts and minds of the inhabitants. Simply put, we want you to feel at home when we’re finished.
