Our residential practice, based primarily in New England, begins with a thorough understanding of the client's perspective and needs. We experience the natural beauty of the site through their eyes and examine all aspects of their daily lives – how much time do they spend at home? How do they entertain? Are there children? Grandchildren? Do they want their home to stand out in the neighborhood or blend in? –

before developing an integrated plan for living in comfort and beauty. The client's interests are foremost in our minds for every scale of project, from renovations and additions of existing homes to new construction.

Many clients have remarked on the range of the style of our work, from modern to traditional. This results from our respect for a client's individuality. Our trademark is the design of houses that relate beautifully to their surroundings, with an elegant simplicity that forms the background for daily life.

If a building makes us light up, it is not because we see order; any row of file cabinets is ordered. What we recognize and love is the same kind of pattern we see in every face, the pattern of our own life form. The same principles apply to buildings that apply to mollusks, birds or trees. Architecture is the play of patterns derived from nature and ourselves.
