“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.” 
Leonardo da Vinci
 

Philosophy
link to Sustainability

 

We believe that:

  • Form does follow function, but it also follows budget.  Conscious, purposeful, and balanced design enhances function and aesthetics .   Balanced spaces help reduce stress, increase health, enhance creativity, promote concentration, and energize the spirit.

  • Good design is like a game of dominoes.  Expressive spaces encourage expression.  Expression creates health.  Health promotes energy.  Energy optimizes excellence and creative spirit.  The mind,  body, spirit and environment connect.

  • Respect the environment through sensitive selection of sustainable materials. 

  • Integrate natural and crafted elements to celebrate artistic expression, express individuality, add whimsy and promote humor.

  • Harmonious design should exist between interior and exterior spaces to support harmony within us and our aspirations to be the best we can be. 

  • Designs are innovative yet practical, and client-specific.

  • Design services are independent from installing contractors to eliminate potential
    conflict-of-interest as design/build.
