We believe architecture is about creating spaces to connect you with nature and each other. Whether it’s in the desert, high in the mountains, by the water, or deep in the woods, we approach each project with a deep respect for its unique surroundings and climate, using those elements to inform the design and bring them into your daily living experience.
Every project begins with listening. We aim to understand your wishes, and even dig deeper to really get to the roots of your needs and aspirations. From there we can start to craft spaces that reflect and inspire your personalities, dreams, and goals.
Our work is built by 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 design custom homes by treating the entire lot and beyond as part of the design, integrating architecture, interiors, and landscapes to create a cohesive living experience to harmonize with nature and enrich your everyday living experience.
Our expertise revitalizes existing homes through thoughtful renovations and additions, enhancing functionality and aesthetic appeal.
We create iconic event venues that elevate their surroundings, providing memorable experiences for guests.
Our boutique resort designs offer intimate, nature-connected retreats that provide guests with unparalleled experiences and tranquility.
Desert living is about connecting with the raw beauty of the landscape and 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 the summer and warm in the winter.
Mountain living is an adventure, but it comes with its challenges such as 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, seamlessly weaving the beauty of lakes, rivers, or oceans into your everyday life.
Being in the woods is about 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 design custom homes by treating the entire lot and beyond as part of the design, integrating architecture, interiors, and landscapes to create a cohesive living experience to harmonize with nature and enrich your everyday living experience.
