We get to know each client by asking questions, looking at photographs and ideas they may have collected or prepared, and then sketching out possibilities. Together we refine the image they have in their mind, and turn it into something tangible: their ideal vision for a home. The final design should fulfill the homeowner’s expectations by surrounding them with beauty, comfort, and character.

The team is especially known for its regional design. New homes often seem as if they have been in the family for generations. Older residences take on a new life through restoration and adaptive re-use. Expansions or additions incorporate period details so that the connection between old and new is seamless. Historic details are combined with contemporary sensibilities; our architects include the conveniences of modern life without sacrificing reverence for older traditions.

Our clients are as different as the homes we create. We work with affluent families to build private retreats, but we also design for aging residents who need affordable and accessible homes. The same team has created student and faculty housing for small private schools, designed exclusive residential communities, and also addressed the real-world need for sustainable homes.
