Residential The firm’s origins are rooted in residential design. Our residential projects range from rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings, to building additions on top of or adjacent to existing structures, to ground- up new construction. Every building is unique and each floor plan and layout must creatively and pragmatically address a site’s specific challenges. Our residential portfolio demonstrates vision, expertise, and flexibility in the service of both elegant contemporary design and preservation of architectural heritage.
