We’ll talk to you like that teacher you loved who made complex things sound simple. We spell out acronyms and we’ll never call a window an “aperture.”

We like sharing.

We have extensive experience designing for multi-generational families, co-ops, intentional communities, and the like. (We’ve also done research, lectured, and taught on these topics!)

We’re environmental nerds.

We have experience designing to the strictest energy & performance standards. Currently, we’re excited about the possibilities of straw as a carbon-sequestering building insulation.

We like good ideas.

If someone else’s idea is better than what we proposed, we incorporate it. Whether that’s a client’s tweak, a consultant’s advice, or a contractor’s suggestion, we weigh the merits, discuss them with our client, and move forward as a team.
