About Us

We design intentionally, with equal parts intelligence and creativity. We design boldly and are not afraid to lead our clients to dream big. For us, this means work that is not only idealistic, but also effective, navigating a path between the world as it is and the world as it might and must be. This is what gives our work its authenticity, complexity, grit, and texture, impactful at first glance and nuanced over time.

Our work has sometimes been described as minimalist—understated, restrained, precise, calm—and we’re happy with that. We believe in our stewardship of resources: that we must do the most with the least. But we also believe in work that is beautiful and memorable, so we work in a design language not of austerity or ruthless efficiency, but of precision and focus.

When we started our practice, our first projects were for artists reinhabiting industrial buildings to live and work in. The imprint of that artistic and creative community is still with us today and continues to guide our practice, especially our interest in regenerative and repurposed architecture: adapting old buildings for renewed use. From this history comes the creativity and authenticity of our work.

Together, we are a collective of creatives. Our ingenuity stems from our ideological diversity. Our capacity to conjure the unexpected is a product of our deeply collaborative process and it comes from the trust we have in one another, in those with whom we work, and with our clients.
