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.
