A Few of Our Projects

  

These examples demonstrate the way we work to incorporate regional vernacular patterns, adaptation to

climate and terrain, human-scale details, and natural materials and aesthetics.  In each case we also embody

a number of ecological and resource-conserving strategies.

  

Our buildings are generated in a pattern-based adaptive process with clients, working closely with the site

(directly on site wherever possible).  We think there is increasing evidence that such methodologies offer a path

to more robust and sustainable kinds of environmental structures.

  

A more extensive portfolio is available.
