What We Actually Do

We don't just draw pretty pictures. Every project starts with listening to what you need, figuring out what's actually possible, and then making it happen without the usual architectural headaches.

We've been doing this long enough to know that no two projects are identical. Some clients walk in knowing exactly what they want, others just know the current setup isn't working. Either way, we're here to guide the process from that first coffee meeting all the way to the final walkthrough.

Residential Architecture

Residential Architecture

Your home should actually work for how you live, not the other way around. We've designed everything from compact urban lofts to sprawling suburban builds, and honestly, the size matters way less than getting the flow right.

Whether you're building from scratch or reimagining what's already there, we'll work through every detail - from where the morning sun hits to making sure there's enough storage for all that stuff we accumulate. We handle permits, coordinate with contractors, and keep things moving when inevitable surprises pop up.

  • New home design & construction planning
  • Home additions & expansions
  • Custom renovations & remodeling
  • Heritage home restoration
Commercial Design

Commercial Design

Commercial spaces need to pull double duty - they've gotta look good and function flawlessly under real-world pressure. We've designed offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and mixed-use buildings that don't just impress on opening day but keep working years down the line.

The trick is balancing aesthetics with practicality. Beautiful exposed brick doesn't mean much if your staff's freezing in winter or customers can't figure out where to go. We think through traffic patterns, accessibility requirements, brand integration, and all those building code nuances that can derail a project if ignored.

  • Office & workspace design
  • Retail & hospitality spaces
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Adaptive reuse projects
Industrial Renovation

Industrial Renovation

This is where we really geek out. Old factories, warehouses, manufacturing spaces - they've got character you just can't replicate in new construction. Those massive timber beams, brick walls, huge windows... they tell a story.

The challenge is respecting that history while making the space actually livable or workable for today. We've converted industrial buildings into lofts, creative studios, breweries, and office spaces. It's about knowing what to preserve, what to remove, and how to integrate modern systems without killing the vibe. Structural assessments, code upgrades, and historical designations are all part of the dance.

  • Warehouse conversions
  • Factory-to-residential transformations
  • Heritage industrial preservation
  • Structural reinforcement & modernization
Sustainable Building

Sustainable Building Solutions

Look, sustainability isn't just a checkbox anymore - it's about designing buildings that don't cost a fortune to heat, cool, and maintain. Plus, with energy costs and climate concerns, it just makes sense financially and ethically.

We integrate passive design strategies, high-performance building envelopes, renewable energy systems, and smart material choices. But we're practical about it - not every project needs solar panels and a green roof. Sometimes the most sustainable choice is renovating what's already there instead of tearing it down. We'll help you figure out which green strategies actually make sense for your project and budget.

  • Energy-efficient design strategies
  • Green building certifications (LEED, Passive House)
  • Material selection & lifecycle analysis
  • Renewable energy integration
Interior Space Planning

Interior Space Planning

Great architecture isn't just about the exterior - how spaces flow and function inside makes or breaks the whole experience. We've all been in beautiful buildings that somehow just don't work, right?

Interior space planning is where we map out how you'll actually use the space day-to-day. It's about sightlines, natural light, circulation paths, furniture arrangements, and creating zones that make sense for your lifestyle or business operations. We coordinate with structural requirements, mechanical systems, and lighting design to make sure everything works together. And yeah, we can help with finishes, fixtures, and built-ins too if you want a cohesive vision.

  • Space flow & circulation design
  • Custom millwork & built-in solutions
  • Material & finish specifications
  • Lighting design coordination
Project Management

Project Management

Here's the thing - even the best design is worthless if it doesn't get built properly. We've seen too many projects go sideways during construction because nobody was really paying attention to the details.

That's why we stay involved through the entire build process. We're on-site regularly, reviewing contractor work, answering questions, solving problems as they come up (and they always do), managing change orders, and making sure what gets built matches what was designed. We also handle submittal reviews, coordinate with consultants, track schedules, and keep you in the loop without overwhelming you with construction minutiae. Basically, we're your advocate making sure the vision actually happens.

  • Construction administration
  • Contractor coordination & oversight
  • Quality control & site inspections
  • Budget tracking & schedule management

Let's Talk About Your Project

Every project starts with a conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch - just an honest discussion about what you're trying to accomplish and whether we're the right fit to help make it happen.
