Vision

Our goal is to improve and enhance the way homes are built.  In our view, the act of building should promote social and ecological health and well-being while creating structures that perform well in all weather conditions and are comfortable, beautiful and long-lasting.

We believe there is a real benefit in providing a design process that does not define success solely by whether a project is built well, on time, and on budget.  Intrinsic values, such as environmental and social responsibility, are critical to our definition of success.  Together with our clients, we sculpt, define, and redefine these often subjective priorities.  By considering more than the building itself, we can provide an added value that will help change the antiquated construction paradigm that only considers the bottom line.
