I like to think of every project as a portrait of the client. Gardens and landscapes should be as important as the buildings. Sustainability and economy go hand in hand and the best buildings are simple places that help you feel present in your life.
Influences on our work can come from anywhere, but a few points of reference are the lanes around our office, vernacular buildings and Bea’s art!

My father is a cabinetmaker so there was always a woodworking shop just around the corner. I worked with him on occasion. My first real job was at the Northwoods Canoe company after school and during the summer. I guess somewhere between helping my dad with kitchen installations and building wood and canvas canoes I found an appreciation for craft and building things. If nothing else, I developed a high tolerance for sanding!
I approach architecture and design with an understanding of how the individual pieces of a building come together, using thoughtful detail to create spaces that feel considered but not over designed.
