Every building has a story to tell.

Dream it.

We offer a broad collective design experience in new construction and renovations, including libraries, community centers, single-family residences, student and affordable housing, academic buildings, retail, speculative development, performance spaces and master-planning. We also offer in-home design consultations, property assessments and planning assistance.

Plan it.

At the heart of our work is the common goal of energy-efficient design and healthy environments. We believe every project is an opportunity to make a positive impact on our collective footprint, and every day provides an opportunity to learn something new.  We’re well-versed in the nuances of straw bale construction, as well as current sustainability metrics including LEED, Passive House and Living Building Challenge.

Build it.

Our goal is to find that sweet spot where all parties involved in the design and construction process come out on the other end, when the project is done, feeling proud of our successful collaboration. This requires careful communication, asking the right questions and combining experience with a problem-solving attitude.
