More than 30 unique, healthy, self-reliant homes. Every home we design starts with the site and the client. And it finishes with responsibility for the environment. Each site has unique exposures, slopes, drainage and existing features that guide us. This is often called “bioclimatic design”. The result is a home that fits the site and the climate. It produces less natural disturbance, is more comfortable and uses less energy. Each person brings their dreams and experiences to their home design. We help discover and interpret these. And we also promote simplicity and “future readiness”. We ask what features will make your home best adapted to you in the future, and most flexible in a changing world. |
