Who We Are

Pay Attention
 
The mantra in our office is “Pay attention.” We pay close attention to our clients’ habits, feelings and beliefs; to the nuances of making spaces exquisitely functional; to the details that result in fine design aesthetics, and to the wider context for each project. We also pay attention to the practical matters of budget, timing and quality of workmanship and materials.

Paying attention to all these and more enables us to develop creative design solutions for the unique challenges of each project. It is the basis for the harmonious relationships we build with customers, suppliers, users and the spaces themselves. Ultimately, paying attention reflects our respect for people, buildings and spaces, and budgets, and is the foundation for our success.

Respect Old and New
People often come to know us for a specific project and then are surprised by the depth and variety of our work. Those who access our expertise in historic preservation may be astonished by our stunning contemporary designs. Those who know our work with municipalities, assessing and planning entire architectural districts may not realize that we also work with individual homeowners on residential projects. Those who see our large commercial projects may not know that we also help non-profits find design solutions to fit within their budget constraints.

The diversity of our work arises from our profound respect for superb design of all periods and a wholehearted commitment to solving space needs creatively and effectively. Excellent design may be equally manifest in the scrolled cornices and terra cotta bas relief of a nineteenth century edifice, and in the sleek planes of glass and striking angles of metal in a twenty-first century structure. Our thorough knowledge of architectural periods and design principles, strong aesthetic sensibilities, and attentiveness to detail result in buildings that achieve high standards of excellence, respect their surroundings, and meet our clients’ needs.
