OU R VA LUES RIGOR We thrive on projects that challenge our capabilities and venture out into the frontier of technical innovation. We specialize in solutions that have never been created before. Failure can and will happen. Our rigorous prototyping

process lets us test and test again until innovations are ready to implement.

RESTRA IN T Exercising restraint means listening before speaking, and reserving time for critical discussion throughout the production process.

More is not necessarily always better. We instinctively know when it’s time to put down the pen so ideas and execution don’t become overcooked.

At the heart of our company is craftsmanship; we’re all makers here. The urge to build things well is knitted into our DNA. It comes with a keen eye for quality.

A rain water harvesting system was engineered to capture and store 30,000 gallons of water in underground cisterns for use in irrigating the landscape and to provide water for the daily kennel washdowns. This design was a ten-fold increase in the code required reclaimed water and will yield up to 210,000 gallons of harvested w a t e r p e r y e a r .

Each facility utilizes operable clerestory windows that not only flood the spaces with natural light but they also allow the facility staff to regulate heat gains in the summer by opening the windows to naturally ventilate the heated air that accumulates at the ceiling area.

The original design of the north face of the residence featured glazed curtain walls creating panoramic vistas of Camelback Mountain. The master suite expansion followed suit with full height glazing in both the bed and bathroom but well protected from the neighbors sight lines. All of the single panel glazing was replaced throughout the house with special attention given to the d e t a i l i n g o f o l d t o n e w.

As with all our work, craftsmanship and restraint play a major role in architectural components. The entry to the master suite maintained the exposed slump block masonry and was enhanced by a continuous skylight that washed an antique Chinese wall panel.

Reclaimed white oak from another project was re-purposed to form a textured backdrop for an oil painting.

The most efficient layout of Greenhouse structures is based on a 24’-0” grid and this grid was utilized to establish the layout for not only the greenhouse building but for the entire h o r t i c u l t u ra l c e n t e r.

Lighting studies and energy models helped create where shading was required while still maintaining the right amount of UV light critical for plant growth.

Since the completion of the greenhouse the plants have thrived with many blooming for the first time.

The primary gathering space is organized by a pitched ceiling with the low side bounded by a suspended steel fireplace for more intimate conversations.

This tall side of the pitched ceiling lofts toward the textural view of Camelback Mountain.

The angle of the pitch, the reorganization of spaces and the homes materials were all chosen to play b a c k d r o p t o t h e h o m e’s relationship to the site and views.

Commissioned by the City of Tempe, this shelter across from City Hall was dedicated to the memory of Mary O’Connor, a long-time Tempe resident and city employee who devoted much of her career and personal life to improving transportation alternatives for people who live in Tempe and well beyond its borders.

Our team regularly volunteers in this event where we design and construct a dog house for this competition.

We also support the program by donating the dog house for the silent auction where the proceeds are donated to the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA.

Our firm has continues to participate in this awardwinning program where our members of our firm work with 3rd-6th grade students in the classroom and at weekend camps in order for students to gain and demonstrate and understanding of how the built environment directly affects their own well-being and that of the natural environment.
