Our process
From the land
to the last detail.
We follow an idea through the whole project, from the first conversation and site study to the rooms, materials, and crafted details that give a home its character.
Understand the whole.
We begin with you and the place: your routines, the light, the land, the views, and what is already there. Early sketches bring these considerations together, exploring how the house, garden, and arrival can belong to one another.
Shape the experience.
We develop the plan and the spaces together. Proportion, movement, daylight, and the relationship between indoors and out guide the design, while materials and interior details grow from the same ideas.
Resolve the making.
As the design develops, we work through the details that make it tangible: the depth of a window, the profile of a molding, the meeting of wood and stone. Drawings are developed with the people who will build them in mind, carrying the larger idea into the smallest decisions.
Before we begin
Bring your ideas.
We’ll start there.
Tell us what you are imagining, the general location, and what matters most to you. A few notes about timing, budget, and how you hope to live in the home give the conversation a useful starting point.
Plans, sketches, and detailed drawings develop with the project. The scope, sequence, and involvement of the builder are matters to discuss together at the outset.
