We listen.

Communication is key for successful collaboration.

We talk with clients to understand both what’s stated and what’s not. We work with stakeholders and professional teams to align expectations.

We program.

Working with a background of base information, we work through proposed functions and the spaces/elements required to fulfill client desires. We frame projects in respect to site ecologies, regulatory environments, and construction constraints.

We educate.

The dynamics of coastal landscapes are different from what many people are accustomed to. We introduce our clients and collaborators to the unique qualities of living and working in coastal environments.

We get drawing.

We play by arranging and scaling desired elements to take advantage of a site and create opportunities for delight. We examine a range of possibilities for each site – discussing them internally and with our clients/collaborators.
