Architect (XL) Firm - West
The true essence of their
practice and the genius of
their work is collaboration.
We are not defined by
the projects we do, but by
the problems we solve.
At the heart of our work is a connection to the power of natural surroundings. Our legacy of environmentally responsible buildings is inspired by the efficiency and elegance of passive systems and regional materials. We leverage the openness and flexibility of modernist form to celebrate connections inside and out.
Beginning with original founding partners—and now extending to two West Coast studios—partnership is at the core of our practice. Our process engages everyone involved, to mine deeper insights and push concepts further in the creation of exquisitely detailed buildings that connect people, place and landscape.
