Our design combines exuberance and rigor, modernism and urbanism. With each project, whether urban or rural, we consider the larger framework in which the building fits—the living context. That includes nearby structures as well as ecological, social, political, economic, and regulatory layers.

Our clients appreciate that our designs not only have flair, but also arise from a deep understanding of the finer points of building codes. We see all spaces in the urban environment as linked to each other, ripe for activation and capable of serving a variety of purposes.

We believe in tying together big-picture thinking with small-scale finesse.

The Chicago River is one of the world’s great ur The Chicago River is one of the world’s great urban rooms. It simply takes your breath away.  While the quality of the architecture along the way is uneven, it doesn’t diminish the power of the space it defines. 
The Chicago river walk (begun in 2001 and continues through the present), designed by @sasakidesign and @r_barc is one of those tactical urbanist triumphs that changed the role of the river in the daily lives of Chicagoans. It created new pedestrian paths and public spaces to linger, connect with the river, and admire the city.

The heart of the 1629 Market project is Mazzola Ga The heart of the 1629 Market project is Mazzola Gardens, a new pocket park designed by @cmgsite 
The heart of Mazzola Gardens is a BART vent structure, wrapped in an oval security wall clad in a veil of ipe. The decision to extend the slats 2’ above the wall helps dissolve its presence.

Always fun exploring great architecture with the t Always fun exploring great architecture with the team! Destination: Apple HQ visitor’s center by @fosterandpartners 
Yes, the flawless curving structural glass walls, razor thin roof edge and maniacal coordination of building systems are very impressive.  But the stairs are the Pièce de résistance: freestanding sculptures of white precast concrete and sumptuously ground terrazzo. All the tricky geometric transitions cleverly resolved.

Meditations on the bridge (but not while driving!) Meditations on the bridge (but not while driving!):
1. The tower lighting is perfect: dramatic & dignified . You don’t see the sources- all indirect. Architect Irving Morrow obsessed about it. 
2. Color: nailed it.
3. Style and proportion: incredible how durable and versatile #artdeco was. From teapots to towers (and bridges).

Thank you @aiaeastbay for featuring Joyce and Sari Thank you @aiaeastbay for featuring Joyce and Sarina last Thursday in the concluding event of the 2024 lecture series. As client and architect, Joyce and Sarina shared the tale of the Butterfly House - the triumphant story of rebuilding a family home of 47 years after the devastating Nuns Canyon wildfire of October, 2017 (photo-2).
