Our mission is to create beautiful, livable spaces that meet our clients aesthetic, functional, and economic goals, while respecting the environment.
Our perspective is informed by a respect for historical architecture coupled with an appreciation of the playfulness and freshness of modern design.
Our experience and expertise applies to all types of projects: on smaller residential and renovation work we can produce the drawings necessary for permitting and construction, on larger commercial and new-construction projects we focus on the interiors and work in tandem with architectural and engineering teams.
Our approach is flexible and responsive. We work with some clients who know exactly what they want and we help them achieve it. Others are less sure and we guide them through the design process, helping them to formulate their own aesthetic as we go.
Our network of collaborating professionals, formed through ten years of practice, includes architects, builders, artists, and artisans who share our vision.

Located on one of the last remaining undeveloped coastal areas in California, this modern off-grid guest house resides on a wildlife preserve; exemplifying a successful balance of residential development and ecological preservation.
This project was a very thorough remodel of a mid-century house, originally designed by Portland architect William Fletcher. Before our clients purchased the home, it was owned by an artist and during our design process we kept in mind both the style of the house as well as the playful eye of its previous occupant.
