Architecture for the buildings people actually use.
A small studio working in single-family residential, adaptive re-use, and small civic projects. Drawings done by the architect on the file. Sites visited weekly through construction.
Six projects, built.
The studio works on a small slate. Every project gets a partner on the file from the first sketch through the punch list. Drawings are issued from the studio, never outsourced.
Hill Section House
Single-family, 2,400 sq ft. Adaptive re-use of a 1940s structure into a four-bedroom hillside home with a daylit lower studio.
Quarry Library
Public branch library, 8,400 sq ft. Cast-in-place concrete shell, mass-timber roof, daylit reading hall over the children’s stacks.
North Mill Studios
Adaptive re-use of a 1923 grist mill into 14 working studios for craftspeople, with shared kiln, finishing room, and gallery storefront.
Lakeside Cabin
Off-grid cabin, 980 sq ft. Solar, rainwater, composting; finished in cedar lapstrake siding milled from trees cleared during build prep.
Ridgeline Chapel
A 110-seat ecumenical chapel set into a slope, framed in glue-laminated timber with a single skylight oriented to the south transept.
Sixth Street Workshop
A 1908 brick warehouse rebuilt as a four-tenant workshop building. New steel-sash windows, salvaged maple floors, and a shared loading bay.
How we work.
Sketch in the room
Every project starts with paper at the table, with the people who’ll live in or use the building. Pencils first, software second.
One partner, one file
The architect who sketched it draws it, details it, and shows up on site. No hand-off to a project manager mid-project.
Site visits, weekly
Through construction, weekly site walks. Punch lists kept short by catching issues at the framing stage, not at the closeout.
Drawings hold up
Construction documents are dimensioned, coordinated, and checked twice. Submittals get reviewed inside three business days.
Three architects, one drafting room.
The studio is intentionally small. Three licensed architects, one administrator, one shared drafting room. Every project carries a partner’s signature on the file from concept through closeout.
The number of new projects per year is fixed. When the slate fills, the next inquiry rolls into the following year’s queue. We’ve turned down work to keep the file count honest, and that’s the practice.
