We believe that our public places, neighborhoods and individual structures, are the stage on which the life of the community is expressed and that the design of these places can have a strong effect on the community, either fostering its growth and health, or hindering its full expression. We believe traditional town planning and architecture have resulted in our most vibrant and beautiful spaces in the past and can help to restore our current degraded communal and civic life. As such, we have made ourselves students of that accumulated wisdom and hope to be recognized as experts in the techniques of traditional planning and architecture.

We seek out clients - individual, commercial, or institutional - who share our aspirations for contributing to the community and who recognize that every project, from a citywide master plan envisioning the next 30 years to a single family house well situated towards the street, to the smallest neighborhood playground, is an opportunity to add to the fabric of the city, town, or neighborhood and encourage the health of the community. We recognize that this partnership between client and architect is critical to the success of our mission and so seek to actively involve the client in every phase of envisioning, design and implementation.
