Innovation
With each project, our firm goes back to the first principles. We try to get to the root of the problem or issues and understand fully our Client’s needs. Having completed this, we develop a program and philosophy in an organized written statement that addresses these needs. Within this framework, we develop and explore alternates. We look for innovative approaches which best meet these needs and express them in architectural terms.

Environmental Integrity - Sustainable Design
Since our firm's inception, we have been sensitive to these design criteria. Our firm has experience having been involved with passive solar designs and mechanical geothermal and heat pump systems. Our construction details provide for well-insulated rain screen walls, tested insulated roof applications, tinted thermopane low E glass in thermally broken frames, and energy-efficient electrical and mechanical systems. The implication of these has provided our Clients with energy cost savings over the years and has reduced the impact on our environment.
