Every design is a puzzle of interrelated challenges.
Throughout the process priorities evolve, problems are solved, new opportunities are discovered and ideas are perfected.
Our projects are ongoing and these examples reflect the transformation that occurs as the project takes shape.
Before And After
Originally a traditional territorial style home built in the 1940s with few architectural assets and a dated room layout that was inappropriate in meeting the needs of discriminating clients. Was transformed into a contemporary residence designed with an open plan and more spacious proportions throughout.
The design integrated the landscaped entrance, private courtyard and vegetable gardens with the house interiors. Sustainability was a key design feature that included recycling of original building materials and the incorporation of energy saving building components including photovoltaic panels and solar water heating both for domestic hot water and as an energy source for the radiant heating system.
ReturnBefore And After
A former private school campus was transformed into a compound of private legal offices including conference rooms and landscaped courtyards. Divided into phases, Phase One enabled the medium size firm to inhabit their new facility. The existing structures were modernized and incorporated with new construction which addressed the firm's evolving operations. Phase 2 has been designed to better utilize the site and introduce energy saving features using sustainable construction techniques.
