We create architecture that connects you with nature and each other. Whether in the desert, high in the mountains, by the water, or deep in the woods, we approach each project with deep respect for its unique surroundings and climate. These elements inform the design and become part of your daily living experience.
Every project begins with listening. We understand your wishes, then dig deeper to the roots of your needs and aspirations. Then we craft spaces that reflect and inspire your personalities, dreams, and goals.
Our work is built on collaboration. We listen closely to your needs and aspirations and work hand in hand with you through the entire process. Close communication with craftspeople, engineers, and local experts enables us to create projects that are innovative, grounded in functionality, and deeply attuned to their natural surroundings.
While our firm is open to and excited by a variety of project types and locations, the following represent our areas of expertise.
We start with the site, then shape a home that listens to climate and frames the land. Circulation invites gathering, quiet rooms find refuge, materials weather with grace, and every move deepens your connection to nature. For homeowners, a precise fit for how you live. For developers, a distinctive asset with strong market pull.
We reimagine existing homes to tune them to climate, light, and how you live. Plans open to landscape, circulation flows, and additions feel inevitable. For homeowners, a precise transformation that strengthens daily life, character, and long-term value.
We craft event venues that elevate their setting and run cleanly. Arrival, gathering, and flow are choreographed for guests, while back-of-house and service lines keep operations smooth. For owner-operators, spaces that earn attention, photograph well, and help support bookings and build brand strength.
We design boutique resorts and short-term rental portfolios that are intimate, site-driven, and highly functional. Whether a one-of-a-kind stay, a cabin network with shared amenities, or a destination retreat, our designs earn attention and help support stronger ADR, occupancy, and brand strength.
Desert living means connecting with the raw beauty of the landscape while both embracing and escaping the sun. By studying the land and the sun, we accentuate the unique landscape while creating spaces that stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
Mountain living is an adventure, but it comes with challenges like wildfires, extreme weather, and rugged terrain. We design homes that are a refuge from the elements, giving you a cozy, safe place to recharge. Whether you're hitting the trails or savoring the view, our designs connect you to the spirit of mountain life.
Life by the water is a mix of fun and relaxation. From boating, waterskiing, paddleboarding, fishing, or sunset dinners, we design homes that make every moment count. Our spaces blur the lines between indoors and out, weaving the beauty of lakes, rivers, or oceans into your everyday life.
Being in the woods means finding peace in the rustle of leaves and the songs of birds. We create architecture that immerses you in the sights, sounds, and smells of the woods while giving you shelter from the elements.
We analyze climate, topography, and context so architecture, interiors, and landscape work as one, strengthening everyday experiences.
Schematic Design sparks ideas and explores possibilities through collaboration with you, to imagine new potentials and unlock creative solutions.
Design Development goes deeper into the design, integrating materials, systems and assemblies to balance creativity with practicality.
Construction Documents develops the design with the collaboration of engineers and consultants into a comprehensive drawing set for building permit review and execution.
Construction Administration helps you and your builder turn the design into reality, facilitating execution of the vision through collaboration and oversight, addressing challenges as they arise.
