When planning to build or renovate a restaurant space, working with an existing kitchen can dramatically reduce your construction costs. Depending on the space, a new kitchen can account for as much as 75% of the entire budget. How does an architecture firm design for themselves? The same as we do for our clients: Use thoughtful design to solve problems and elevate the brand, while maintaining a healthy respect for the project budget and schedule.

Residential construction costs can vary considerably, depending on your level of custom design. Semi-custom estimates can range between $300-$400 per square foot, while highly customized projects can cost $600-$700 per square foot, or more. You've hired us as a partner and collaborator, but also because of our experience and expertise. The more we know about you, and the better we work together in pursuit of meaningful design solutions, the better the end result.

Custom residential architecture is not about an architect's ego - at least we don't think it should be. Successful design is a reflection of lifestyle, thoughtfully developed to support, enhance and improve daily rituals. By exploring the combination of your unique needs and desires with the untapped potential of your property, we are able to respond with a design that is at once considered, meaningful and surprising. Our intent is to maximize what you consider valuable, to discover the unrealized, and to make your home your home.
