About Us

We are a small Architectural and Interior Design firm that specializes in commercial and residential design for smaller scale projects. Much of our work is re-purposing or renovating existing buildings to improve the function, energy, quality, and even economic returns of a building. This focus also applies to housing where we can transform an existing home or multi-family building into a quality space that enhances original details and uniqueness but adds the functionality of our modern living standards. Please contact us today to discuss your vision!
