Welcome, it’s nice to meet you. We are a team of community and sustainability minded professionals who offer architectural design and project facilitation services. As experts in high-performance and modular design, we partner with our clients, general contractors, and off-site manufacturers to bring uniquely customized, net-zero ready homes to life, for life. We are a team of community and sustainability minded professionals.
Your project team will then work with you to develop layouts and features that suit your lifestyle, your wants, and your needs. From locating the home on your site to helping you pick out your kitchen cabinets, we guide you through the whole of the design process. By finalizing the design, programmatic needs of the home, site placement, finish selections, and any added structures, we can also help you get a long way down the road to the final all-in costs for the project. This front-end decision making lends itself to price predictability, and, accordingly, alleviates the budget-anxiety often felt with custom design/build projects that can meander through a drawn-out decision process, change orders, and unpredicted delays.
Depending on the specific variables related to your project, you may choose to engage in either off-site or on-site construction. We are large proponents of off-site construction practices for the following reasons:
Building the bulk of the home off-site also means that the construction time on site will be shortened, thus reducing impact on the neighbors and the need for extensive long-term staging on your property. However, we also know that there are instances in which off-site construction is not a viable option. We believe that each client should have the ability to choose the construction approach that makes the most sense for their project, and we are well-versed in collaborating with general contractors to support on-site construction.
The house is whole, the roof is on, the windows are trimmed, and plumbing and electrical is installed… It’s time for the finishing touches. Kitchen countertops, siding and trim, decks and porches, mechanical systems, finish paint, and brand new floors come together, and in turn, your house becomes your home. Your general contractor, whom you’ve selected on your own, out of our roster, or with our help, is your local resource — your conduit to the local deals, tradespeople, and insights that will help any project go smoother than if an outsider was dropping in for the duration. From there all that is left is to move in and relax. You’re home.
