Why Hire Us?

1You have been in a magical space and want one of your own. You recognize that light-filled spaces with pleasing proportions, delightful details and sensual textures stir your emotions and lift your spirits. You care about the intangible as much as the perceptible.

2You are unique - shouldn't your home be, too? You need a residential architect and interior designer with the ideas and imagination to make your home stand apart from the crowd. All of our homes are singular expressions of our clients. Like true works of art, they are never alike.

3You expect value for your money. Our competitive bidding process significantly lowers the cost of your home, while increasing its worth.

4You need someone on your side. We are your advocate, overseeing the contractor and the construction on your behalf. We inspect your home during construction to ensure it is built properly, facilitate bidding, administer changes, and review the contractor's payment requests. We are on your side.

5You want the guy on the letterhead to create your home. The design principal designs all of our homes and will design yours.

6You believe a home should be 'of the land'. We conceive thoughtful, site-specific mountain homes, desert villas, urban lofts, beach houses, prairie homes, lake cottages, suburban estates and everything in between - each a discrete response to climate, sunlight, views, terrain, flora, and local context.

7You know that not all architects are created equal. Most are technically proficient. Many are eminently capable. Some share your own aesthetic sensibility. Only a few understand the difference between a house and a home. We create homes.

8You wish to live in art, not merely look at it. Our modern houses are based on a simple idea: create art to live in. Let's face it, anyone can develop a functional home that doesn't leak. Fashioning a home into a work of art, on the other hand, takes a rare combination of creativity, experience, and vision.

9You value unified interiors, exteriors and landscapes. Most interior and landscape design is performed as an afterthought to an architect's work. We create interiors, landscape and architecture simultaneously, allowing each to influence the others. The result of this holistic approach is a balanced and cohesive home where the interiors transcends mere decoration, and the landscape melds, inseparably, with the architecture.

10You care about the environment and wish to minimize your impact upon it. Sensitive integration of house and site, sustainable technologies, energy efficiency, and renewable, healthy materials are fundamental elements of our houses.

11You desire a home worthy of a magazine. Our houses, interiors, and kitchens win awards and are consistently featured in prominent magazines. Whether it is a RAVE award, the coveted Sub Zero Best Kitchen Award or a feature in Architectural Digest, our architecture receives acclaim.

12You need an architect who works everywhere. From our architectural studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota we create signature homes across the United States.


Our Philosophy
