About
We are dedicated to creating unique buildings with beautiful, healthy, light-filled spaces that enrich our clients’ lives, our communities, and the environment.
Honesty of materials, clarity of form, and consideration of local climate and context are fundamental components to our design process. Our hope is that the work we create today will someday be worthy of restoration by future generations.
We are small and specialized, allowing us to give each project the attention it deserves. Projects range in size from modest interior renovations to complex new buildings. We engage in a multi-disciplinary approach involving close collaboration with engineers, consultants, fabricators, and builders to achieve a strong understanding of the construction process and attention to detail.
We work in conversation with clients, listening without preconception, generating ideas and possibilities together, and finding clear and compelling solutions.
We are a full-service design firm, including new residential and commercial projects, renovations, additions, and historic restorations.
We all impact the natural environment with our actions, and believe building design should promote environmental responsibility. This can occur through the use of natural/recycled materials, minimizing energy and utility consumption, orienting the building with the sun, reducing construction waste…and many others.
Justin is a leading resource and proponent for the restoration and preservation of mid-century modern architecture in the local community. He lives with his wife in a 1958 MCM home designed by local architect Abe Tannenbaum.
