Housing for all
Urbanism
We love cities and strive to help make them successful.
Sensory experience
Architecture is felt by the skin, nose, and ears as well as the eyes.

Metal quilts adorn the “back-of-house”:
that side of the building where the transformers, fire pump, trash rooms and other necessary functions come to the fore. Standard profile corrugated panels are perforated where louvers occur, solid elsewhere. Every project has a back, so the question is how to handle it and make a good pedestrian experience.

Alien landscape:
The great salt flats of Utah on a moonlit night. The ridges of salt in the honeycomb pattern are about 1-2 inches tall. How does this happen?? So beautiful.

Photos don’t capture the delicious spatial quality of this place. Woven with light and the rich sandstone color.
See last pic for scale.
