What We Do
We've spent years honing our craft across six core areas. Each project gets the same obsessive attention to detail, whether it's a cozy home renovation or a sweeping urban development plan.
Look, we don't do cookie-cutter solutions here. Every service we offer is tailored around what YOU actually need, not some template we pulled off the shelf. Here's the breakdown of where we can help.
Creating homes that actually work for how you live
Honestly, this is where most of our heart goes. We've designed everything from compact urban condos to sprawling lakefront estates. What sets us apart? We actually listen when you tell us about your morning routine, your kids' chaos, or how you love hosting dinner parties.
Our residential work isn't about imposing some architectural ego trip on you. It's about understanding that you need mudroom storage for winter boots, that natural light in the kitchen matters more than a fancy island, or that your home office shouldn't feel like a closet.
Spaces where business and creativity collide
Commercial projects are a different beast entirely. We've done retail spaces, office buildings, mixed-use developments, and even a craft brewery that became a neighborhood landmark. The trick? Balancing function with that special something that makes people want to BE there.
Your commercial space needs to work hard - customer flow, employee satisfaction, building codes, future expansion... it's a juggling act. But when we nail it, you get a space that pays dividends for decades, not just looks good in opening-day photos.
This isn't just a buzzword for us - it's baked into literally everything we do. We've been obsessed with sustainable design since way before it was trendy, and we've got the LEED certifications and Net-Zero projects to prove it.
Real talk: sustainable building saves you money. Yeah, there might be higher upfront costs sometimes, but when your heating bill drops by 60% and your building is still performing beautifully in 50 years, you'll get it.
There's something magical about breathing new life into a building that's been around longer than any of us. Heritage work requires a totally different mindset - you're part architect, part historian, part detective.
We've restored Victorian homes, converted old factories into loft spaces, and brought century-old commercial buildings up to modern code without losing their soul. It's painstaking work, but man, is it rewarding when you uncover original details nobody's seen in 80 years.
Zooming out to the neighborhood or city level is where things get really interesting. Urban planning is about creating places where communities can thrive - not just individual buildings, but how they all work together.
We've worked on transit-oriented developments, neighborhood revitalization projects, and master plans for new communities. It's complex stuff involving zoning, infrastructure, public consultation, and a whole lot of coordination.
Sometimes the shell of a building is perfect, but the inside needs a total rethink. That's where our interior architecture services come in. We're not talking about picking out throw pillows here - this is serious spatial reorganization, material selection, and creating environments that affect how people feel and function.
We've redesigned office interiors to improve collaboration, reconfigured restaurants to optimize kitchen workflow and dining experience, and transformed residential interiors to adapt to changing family needs. The walls might stay put, but everything else is fair game.
Let's grab a coffee and talk about what you're trying to build. No pressure, no sales pitch - just an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit for your vision.
Every project's different, but here's generally how things unfold when we team up.
We meet, we talk, we listen. You tell us what you need, what you love, what keeps you up at night. We ask probably too many questions.
We sketch, model, and develop ideas. Multiple directions, honest feedback, and lots of iteration until we land on something that clicks.
Getting into the nitty-gritty - detailed drawings, material specs, engineering coordination, permits, and all that fun stuff.
Construction's underway, and we're there to make sure what's being built matches what we designed. Site visits, contractor coordination, problem-solving on the fly.
