We apply rigorous analysis to reveal how each design decision influences comfort, energy use, system size, and views, then balance efficiency and inspiration in every solution. Our portfolio ranges from high-efficiency commercial projects and bespoke residences to one-of-a-kind environments such as research stations in Greenland and Antarctica. Operating as a small, flat-hierarchy team, we prize autonomy, efficiency, and impeccable technical execution so that, when occupants enter our spaces, they experience buildings that both perform and inspire.

Works seamlessly with engineers, contractors, and a lean, fast-moving team.
Upholds safety, quality, and integrity on every project.
Thrives in a small, high-trust, outcome-focused studio that values autonomy and craft.
