Expertise
Over time, our expertise has grown around our interests and curiosities. We design time machines, secret gardens, and homes for mythical creatures. In other words, our work focuses on:
Natural Ventilation
We like to open the windows—strategically sized and placed windows that improve indoor air quality.
Urban Landscapes
Nature belongs in cities, and you belong in nature. We recreate the living landscape in places where it has been, very recently, forgotten.
MaterialS
We research materials for their toxicity, their carbon footprint, and their story. We honor each material’s true function.
Storytelling
Architecture is a container for memories and stories.
Adaptive Reuse
The greenest building is the one that already exists. We reuse buildings and materials to connect different moments in time.
Passive Design
It starts with the siting of a building. We locate the sun and go from there to maximize thermal comfort and minimize energy use.
Animal Facilities
We make space for positive interactions with animal life in the city, edges of our urban environments and infrastructure.
Gardens
The garden is an idealized nature, a respite from our modern life.
