How We Actually Work
First meetings usually happen over coffee, not in some stuffy boardroom. We need to understand what you're really after - not just what you think you should say to an architect.
Every project starts with listening. Then we dig into the site analysis, climate data, local materials, heritage considerations if they're relevant. We're kinda obsessive about the research phase because that's where the good ideas come from.
Our design process is collaborative but we're not gonna let bad ideas slide just to be nice. If something doesn't work thermally or structurally or just feels wrong for the neighborhood, we'll tell you straight up. That honesty has saved more projects than it's killed.
And yeah, we use all the latest tech - BIM modeling, energy simulations, the works. But we also still sketch by hand because sometimes your brain works differently with a pencil.
