Listen

Listening closely to clients, community members, collaborative partners and builders is critical to our process. The best design solutions can come from any source, so we’re always curious to hear others’ unique insights.

We also listen to what particular places tell us; how the sun, wind, trees and seasons interact with the land and how people and their stories interact with a place.   

Make

We learn with our hands about material properties, fabrication techniques, and the inherent qualities of object construction. As fabricators of our own designs, we enjoy being able to develop details throughout construction so all stages of the process can inform the finished product.

Inhabit

We care about the communities and neighborhoods where we work. We aim to make these places more vibrant, healthy, and equitable. We connect to the natural ecologies we live in through our practice and produce designs that are grounded in local histories and cultures.
