design principles
sustainability
We use quality materials with efficient systems for longevity. We believe it is our ethical responsibility to follow sustainable design principles. Whether it’s renovation or new construction, sustainability is an ongoing conversation throughout the design process. The objective is to take advantage of the natural qualities, topography, light, and air, inherent to the site.
biophilic & wellness
Biophilia- n. Love for the natural world felt universally by humans. Biophilic design is an intrinsic principle for us. Meaningful spaces that are connected to nature, utilize low-toxic materials, and prioritize healthy air circulation, have the power to prevent illness and depression. Part of our design process is to identify where nature can play a part in your life so you can reap the wellness benefits of biophilic design.
historic preservation
There is a certain stewardship that comes with historic homeownership, and we appreciate this responsibility. Our team is very knowledgeable of the Standards of Treatment of Historic Properties: preservation, restoration, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. We work with you to identify which approach is the most appropriate for your project.
