our values
mission

Our goal is to capture the essence of the client's ideas and vision, and mold them into the community where people, place, context, and culture are expressed.

philosophy

We fundamentally believe that excellent design increases value and quality of life. We know that to design well, the psychological and physical context of a project must be appreciated and understood in full.

sustainability

We challenge and encourage our clients to adopt strategies in design, engineering, and construction that will achieve and maintain high standards of environmental sustainability.

vision

Our work is not limited to a signature style. We develop a unique story to guide our design vision from the outset and to give form and context to our client’s desires and aspirations.

previous experience

Previous experience with Sasaki Associates, Watertown, MA and Tsoi/Kobus Architects, Cambridge, MA, has given the practice a broad and award-winning background in a range of varying fields of architecture.

The practice foundation has been built on these experiences, with an ability to move between domains of built form – from corporate headquarters, through building refurbishment and extension, new built homes, residential development for housing associations and private developers.

Our commitment to collaboration with clients, to community building and to environmental responsibility is ongoing.
