Their work employs contemporary materials and methods, but is based upon the eye and the pencil. The practice of architecture demands ethical responsibility, but it also requires flexibility. The design spirit at 3SIXØ thus combines the sensibilities of the painter, poet, and musician, as well as the single focus of the research scientist, the dreams of the garage inventor, and the fortitude of the spiritual pilgrim. 3SIXØ: the very name implies a complete circle—the dome of the Pantheon, or all degrees of viewpoint. That all-encompassing vision cannot be separated from principals Kyna Leski and Chris Bardt’s roles as educators at the Rhode Island School of Design—one of the rare architecture programs within an art school. As teachers they are able to articulate points of philosophy as well as the nature of materials, to harness theoretical thinking to solve the gritty problems of building. Applying that universality, the firm tackles projects that range from furniture to the urban landscape. The design for a very public monument in Washington features granite steles that radiate out from a central core in an ever-changing pattern that is as primal as Stonehenge, as sophisticated as a new computer language. The bending and shaping of light in a country church speaks of their love of movement. Wavelike cast glass blocks transform a simple bench into a sensual sculpture. 3SIXØ reminds us that the very best architecture satisfies practical needs while continually challenging us to think outside the circle.” -William Morgan, Architectural Writer ### Services Provided - We provide full service from the initial sketch through design development - to construction documents - shop drawings and construction supervision.

They purchased her parents’ home in Saunderstown, intent on transforming it into an open and light filled space, the opposite of the dark oak and leaded glass FLW home they had just left. Our clients asked us to deeply connect their daily life with the spectacular overview of the Pettaquamscutt river and wooded surroundings of the property. The existing colonial revi… - [Double Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/double-loft-pj-vj~595511) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: An artist specializing in ceramics and light reflective installations had recently purchased a loft in Providence’s jewelry district. We were asked to convert half the loft into her live/work space; her computer engineer husband was going to remodel the other half to his liking. A meeting later the couple decided to have us design both halves, but asked us to consider each as distinct spaces, to be uniquely designed for each client. An unusual beginning to an unusual project, the “double loft” o… - [Eastside Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eastside-addition-pj-vj~595482) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: The addition is really the embodiment of a lifelong conversation a couple has had over both their shared and separate aspirations.

The elements of the program were allowed to expand or contract according to forces of need and contingency. Some elements became penetrant, dense and constricted, floating freely until encountering a wall or edge. Other elements continued to balloon until they were locked between ceiling, wall and floor. The roof water is channeled down a copper lined notch; at the entry the notch passes through the overh… [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/3sixoe-architecture-and-design-pfvwus-pf~59754442) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
