## About

Our approach to architecture focuses on the uniqueness and potential of each commission, with a belief that the site, function, context and goals of each client will combine to determine the most creative, balanced solution. This has given us the scope and experience to pursue both residential and commercial work of varying scale, character and types. Our portfolio includes work as divergent as historic renovations, corporate offices and custom homes, often very different in architectural style, but representative of client preferences, and needs.

**★★★★★ — bevkee, Sept. 2012**

> Designed a porch extension and small home office addition on our 1909 Foursquare.  His entire focus was to make the area functional, but look like it had always been there.  It's beautiful and even the mailman who has been delivering mail there for 12 years didn't realize we had extended the porch.
