DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

• We work collaboratively with our clients, understanding that this is your project, not ours
• You are the decision maker; our job is to support your goals and help move your project forward
• We guide you through the design and construction process, helping you make informed decisions in a methodical fashion, examining issues from the most general to the most detailed, making the process flow smoothly
• We ask you for input before we design and for feedback afterwards
• You are involved throughout the design process to the extent that you want to be
• We are comfortable working in any architectural style, selecting the one appropriate to your project.
• We routinely incorporate "green" materials and strategies into our solutions
