Conceptual Design

Conceptual design is the art of balancing and layering considerations and inspirations to create a clear vision, ready to evolve into a guiding light for each new project.

The Harriman, Sun Valley, Idaho

A work of expressive discovery, we look to create the overarching idea.

A comprehensive design and planning approach is needed to layer and balance these considerations. Subtleties found in the circumstance can result in meaningful innovation and often form the basis to create a place that is both appropriate and alive to the setting. Our design and planning efforts, grounded by humanistic considerations, result in scale and detail with a tangible benefit to the experience of place.

This portfolio work includes both in-progress and unbuilt projects.

Other Expertise

Residential

We believe architecture is experiential and that buildings and sites should be designed as one harmonious expression. The creative process follows a shared vision, managed in our client’s best interest. Our residential portfolio comprises private single-family and multi-family projects.

Master Planning

Architectural master planning is the crucial first step in any design process. Our approach is to study the history and natural elements of each site. With this knowledge, we create a balance between these and the needs and aspirations of the developer.

Resort & Hospitality

Through Experiential Design, we create spaces where guests connect with the architecture and natural surroundings in a way that provides them with a genuine sense of place. We strike the balance of member and guest experiences with operator and hotelier requirements.
