Statement of Philosophy

The firm's operating philosophy embraces three major themes: creative and economic design, effective project management, and concern for the surrounding community.

Our goal for each is to create an interesting and exciting design solution that is responsive to the project budget and the client's programmatic needs. Each design opportunity is unique and special and should be addressed without preconceived solutions. The final product should reflect a blending of practical needs with aesthetic preferences.

Our emphasis on the importance of effective project management is based on a belief that design is a "process" that must be managed in order to be successful. The "design process" unfolds in a rational, step by step manner with continuous adjustments to specific project requirements.

Finally, we believe that every project should reflect a sense of respect and concern for its place in the surrounding community. It is our intent that our designs will be "good neighbors" by enhancing and complementing the surrounding urban or rural environment. In addition, our designs incorporate the principal of energy conscience design and the efficient use of material and land.
