We have a profound respect for our physical and cultural environment. The Arizona high country inspires and influences us. After all, that's why we live here. As Architects, it is incumbent on us to play an active role in the preservation of our physical and cultural landscape through sustainable development. Green design is simple in concept but complex in practice. In short, green design is assessing all aspects of architectural design, construction and occupancy over the life of a building to reduce resource consumption and promote occupant comfort.
Design does not begin with preconceptions or even precedent, it begins with the client's dreams, our design talent and a blank sheet of paper. It is our conviction that good design is independent of style. A design is not born of whole cloth in the mind of the designer, it comes from hard work and a close collaboration between client, architect and builder. As architects we are composers drawing from a wide range of tools, influences and inspiration. We believe that a beautiful work of architecture emerges when these criteria are distilled down to the essential.
