Our Philosophy

 

"Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle." Shaker Quote

 

 

Detail

In the architectural world, there is irony in the expression "God is in the details", illustrating the lofty podium on which well-detailed work is placed. Exquisite details can indeed elevate a project into a work of art. Those are the details you see. The ones you do not see are the ones that solve complex design issues and create seamless transitions. Details are about creating areas of intense and creative interest with superior design and craft, and they are about resolving areas of conflict.

 

When we begin to formulate designs for our clients' homes, we are simultaneously thinking about the level of detail that will help define the work. An architectural success is, in many ways, the pulling together of multiple layers of detail and executing them with a superior level of craft.
