Approach
We are creative thinkers, not just implementers. Sketch, play, and iteration are an essential part of our process.
All of our work is custom. But we lean on design and fabrication methodologies to work smarter, faster. Combining, multiplying, and rearranging forms to create architectural systems that are personal, quirky, meaningful, and achievable.
Thinking Outside the Box
Sustainability
The greenest square foot is the one you don’t build.
We celebrate the sustainable beauty of efficiency, designing modest footprints that live lightly on the land.
At its best, our work provides a framework for living. By reducing our output to include only the essential, we make space for what matters—the places, people, and experiences that inspire our work. The luxury of less.
By combining low-tech passive solar principles, high-tech renewable energy technologies, sustainable materials, waste reduction, and efficient space design, we continually strive to build responsibly and counteract the reality of accelerating climate change.

Innovation
Joy and optimism tempered with humility and curiosity drive us to explore the intersections of craft and technology.
Our practice elevates everyday materials by embracing both the hand- and machine-technologies that inform their construction.
The result is design that transcends the ordinary and champions the tactile, the unique, and the personal.
