We consider design an act of hospitality, of creating environments that offer comfort and delight. Every project begins with one question: How can we create spaces that make people feel taken care of? 

We believe that buildings and objects that have weathered time and use are a material record of human intelligence and a shared cultural inheritance, and should be approached with great care. We will always advocate for working with what is already there, even if it introduces complexity to a project. We aren’t interested in erasing history but in writing new chapters that honor what came before while serving the needs of the moment. 

We love small to mid-scale projects, including interiors, which allow every detail to be considered, the daily rituals of users to be understood, and environments to be created where every element has a purpose. Architecture is never just about rooms and buildings—it's about the life that happens within and around them.

Nothing is unlimited, and every material decision involves social and environmental costs and benefits. We attempt to consider the larger picture when weighing these decisions. If we are to consume resources to create new structures, we should make those structures durable over the long term, and consider their lifespan beyond the present. 

Building anything well, no matter how small, is impossible without collaboration between the owner, designer, and builder. No single entity has all the resources to execute a project, and each collaborator should expect to share their knowledge with and learn from the others as part of the process.
