We are American architects, pie-eyed optimists who strive for that special quality in our work that transforms the spirit of place and character of people into a uniquely livable form that is at once representative of its own time as it is of its inhabitants. Many are serious some may make one smile but all are all about those who will dwell within them and those who will pass by them and sense the ineffability and usefulness of their design. Many are sociall conscious and as many as possible address environmental concerns but all are built with integrity and all are authentically American.
