education
|
The way we live and learn is changing every day, and educational facilities need spaces that meet the needs of today and tomorrow. The quality of a learning environment has a direct relationship with the effectiveness of teaching. Simple concepts like maximizing natural light, bring a sense of nature into a classroom and provide context for instruction.
But schools are also expected to meet a higher standard of performance from material and seismic concerns to fire and life safety issues. More and more, educational architecture is taking the direction of adaptive reuse, modernization, mobile units, modulars, and additions. Whether your institution is a public, private, charter, elementary or community college, we are experienced with and prepared for the many challenges that make each project unique. |

religious
|
Buildings of religious worship are about defining a place between the outside world and the one within one’s self. Enigmas of light, the tactile qualities of materials, and the presence of form define special moments in space. When these moments occur, they put us in touch with our spiritual presence and set the tone for inner reflection and prayer. This quality of space has been referred to as “being there”, “the silence” or what we call “Sacred Space”.

Public and civic
Public and civic projects have a duty to serve the community. Facilities and institutions that serve the public directly or indirectly need to be designed with a responsibility towards the public trust. Our firm has experience with the public bidding process and open source specifications. We embrace community outreach, and have experience with complicated stakeholder relationships. The result is beautiful architecture beloved by the community.
