WHAT WE DO:
Our clients include homeowners, developers, universities, CDCs (community development corporations), private companies, public entities, and non-profits. The projects we work on represent a client’s dream of creating a better place to live, work, or invest. Bringing those dreams to life in the form of healthy, well-functioning buildings and vastly improved neighborhoods is what we do.
We do that through a collaborative approach that harnesses the wisdom of the community and expertise of other professionals. Whether you are renovating or constructing a new home for your family or business, developing an investment property, doing some early stage fact-finding, or some combination of these, we can help. ARCHITECTURE
We take your brilliant idea and translate it into an attractive and superbly functioning building. We are a small group of experienced architects which means we are nimble, accessible, and personally involved in all of our projects. We take pride in truly listening to our clients and responding with exceptional designs that are beautiful, contextual, and practical. GREEN BUILDING DESIGN / LEED CONSULTING
We design healthy, flexible buildings that meet your short and long term goals and minimize operational costs. Building projects offer many opportunities for sustainability and high efficiency from design to materials to systems. We can advise you on practical ways to make your space more durable and energy efficient to save money on future operational costs. Some options are as simple as window placement for optimal daylight and others are highly complex like geothermal heating and cooling systems. If you are interested in the LEED certification program, we can manage that process for you. We are also skilled at designing for flexibility to accommodate future changes in use which will save money and time on renovations, extend a building’s longevity, and increase your return on investment. URBAN DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING
We add value to your urban development opportunities. We have advanced training in infrastructure planning and a proven track record of successfully navigating the challenges and nuances of redevelopment opportunities within densely populated, historically significant, and culturally diverse city neighborhoods. We know how to engage community members and work with local officials to get projects moving and keep them on track while respecting the needs of multiple stakeholders. We are available to join your team at any point in the process but encourage you to call us early so we can contribute to your best outcome.
