“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer – that the designers are handed this box and told, “Make it look good!” That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
-Steve Jobs
Being trusted with designing your home is a big responsibility, so we first take the time to understand what is meaningful to you. Only then are we able to provide thoughtful suggestions and creative ideas to help you discover your best design solutions.
Collaboration, communication, and iterative refinements are the hallmarks of our approach. This methodology often uncovers possibilities that surprise and delight while meeting goals more successfully than you could have imagined.
We use computer-generated interior and exterior 3D renderings and animations to make it easy to visualize designs, catalog iterations, and share electronically. This allows us to experiment with building designs and architectural elements through visualization, ...
We use computer-generated interior and exterior 3D renderings and animations to make it easy to visualize designs, catalog iterations, and share electronically. This allows us to experiment with building designs and architectural elements through visualization, comparison, and communication. Our partnership style makes the design process far more comfortable, efficient, and cost effective.

The building enclosure is your environmental separator. It’s your shelter, keeping the outside out and the inside in. How well and for how long it works is a function of its design and construction. Your home’s level of comfort, efficiency, durability, indoor air quality, and maintenance is significantly impacted by the building enclosure systems. And yet, the performance of the building enclosure is rarely considered by designers. Through our in-depth understanding of building science, we can design building enclosure systems and assemblies that effectively control moisture, air movement, heat transfer, and the effects that exposure has on these systems.
We help you choose designs and details that fit your style and space. Realistic 3D renderings allow us to collaboratively envision your choices and compare ideas that are best suited to you. ...

We help guide you through the many decisions concerning the finished elements for your project, including cabinet and countertop styles and finishes, lighting and electrical fixtures and locations, plumbing fixtures (and locations as applicable), floor, wall, and ceiling finishes, millwork styles and finishes, the design and selection of tile and related elements, hardware styles and finishes, paint and stain colors and finishes, and appliances.

The design and customization of mechanical systems—heating, cooling, water heating, and ventilation (exhaust ventilation, make-up air, and air exchange) is often overlooked in home design. Most systems are designed by mechanical contractors without a full understanding of the client’s goals or an understanding of the efficiencies being designed into the building envelope. Just like building systems, mechanical systems have a significant impact on your home’s comfort, efficiency, health, durability, ease of use, and required maintenance. We direct mechanical systems design to make sure they’re the best solutions for you and your project.
We’ve found that engineering can be as much an art as a science. There’s never just one design solution to an engineering constraint. Our in-depth understanding of civil and structural engineering allows us to work ...
