Our Approach
site sketch, north light house

We start every project the same way: walking the site alone, before any client meeting, before any program is set. Light, wind, and the way water moves across a lot tell us more than a brief ever will.

We keep the studio small on purpose. Every drawing that leaves this office has been touched by one of the three of us, not handed off to a junior team to execute. That's slower. It's also the only way we know how to guarantee the work.

Common Questions
What's a typical project timeline?
Design development runs 4–6 months for residential work; permitting and construction add 12–18 months depending on scope.
Do you handle permitting?
Yes, we manage the full permitting process and coordinate directly with your municipality's building department.
What's your fee structure?
Typically a percentage of construction cost, with a fixed fee available for smaller scopes like additions or interior renovations.
Do you take on projects outside the region?
Occasionally, for projects with strong site or material interest — travel costs are billed separately.
