## About

At the very core of our practice is the belief that architecture should perform equally at all scales, from the large-scale massing to the smallest detail.

We favor a program-specific and site-specific approach, counseling our clients to maximize their budgets by investing in more thoughtful design and higher quality construction instead of larger spaces. We favor better spaces through rigorous design, durable materials, comprehensive detailing and the silent employment of sustainable features. From inception through construction, we deliver durable, contextual and responsible modern designs. In the aggregate, there is a sense of carefully considered solidity and deliberation to our projects that is "felt" more than seen.

Our work has been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Architectural Record, Design Bureau, National Geographic Traveler, Luxe and Metropolis as well as various regional publications.

Sustainability is paramount in our designs. But it is no longer enough (or even desirable) that a project "appears" green or employs token recycled features. It is a core philosophy to our work. We would prefer that the projects merely be green without announcing themselves as such.

In the past, we served as the general contractor on our jobs - experience which directly informs our design work. Today, we maintain a presence in the field as subcontractors. If the subcontractors or artisans in a particular community are incapable or unwilling to deliver certain details, we are more than willing to do it ourselves. Quite simply, the small moments matter.

**★★★★★ — lbaustin, March 2012**

> Baldridge Architects designed my home, and I am thrilled with the results.  They made the most of every square foot, had great attention to detail, listened carefully to my wants and needs, were ready to make choices that were sensitive to the budget, found creative solutions and created a house that works for our family and our lifestyle in every way.  The house they designed is a work of art.  But it's also a fantastic home to live in day to day.  We've been here for several years now, and I couldn't be happier.

**★★★★★ — Foursquare Builders, March 2012**

> I recall once telling Burton Baldridge that if I only built his home designs the rest of my life I would be happy!! Burton's style and sensibilities are so well blended that it's hard not to like his work.  Foursquare Builders has worked with Burton on a number of projects. Each with unique and challenging details that push us as Builders to deliver a beautiful product.  One of Burton's greatest attributes is his understanding of being a Builder. This knowledge as a Builder put his drawings a head of most since he designs with constructablity in mind. Not only does Burton provide great designs but his total packaging of exterior and interior material pallets complete the entire vision into a unique on of a kind home.

**★★★★★ — johnteinert, March 2012**

> Incredibly talented architect that completes projects on time and has an innate ability to grasp the project from inception.  Burton has a great team that compliments the overall effort and they are a pleasure to work with.  His architectural design seems to be current and having longevity without being trendy.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is that nightstand from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We had it fabricated.  If you're interested, let me know.

**Q: Is that plywood floor?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: No, it is the combination of pine and a very talented hardwood floor professional.

**Q: Desk** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I purchase this desk?

A: We fabricated it out of scraps from the facade.  I really appreciate the (tacit) compliment though.

**Q: Where is the vanity from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is this a custom vanity? If not, who makes it? What kind of wood is it? Thanks!

A: Sadly, it is custom.  The wood is Sapele.

**Q: Desktop- where did you get one piece that long?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It's two pieces -- you can see the joint.  It is Macassar ebony.

**Q: Love the red back splash** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me where I can get that?  Any info you can give me is much appreciated.. Thanks

A: Sorry for the delay.  That is powder coated sheet metal.  Basically it's all custom.
