Green Architecture Meets Collaborative Design

The green architectural design process begins with careful consideration of earth, culture, and community. Over the course of 30 years working with clients locally and across the globe, we have refined an approach to collaborative modern design built on the values of inspiration, sustainability, community, and ecological responsibility. Through our work, our team of architects based in Boulder, Colorado and Managua, Nicaragua, strive to foster positive human relationships and a closer connection with nature.

Projects: We invite you to discover our work by exploring our design values below.

Inspire

We celebrate architecture’s purpose of moving beyond function to uplift the human spirit. When design harmonizes land, light and climate with how people will live, work and play within the architecture, a sense of wonder emerges and life becomes an artful experience.

Create Community

Taking into account the social, economic and ecological context, we encourage dynamic, healthy communities through design. We master plan for a balance of shared and private space that invites conviviality. Community involvement in the process ensures that all members are heard and honored.

Connect to Nature

We connect people spatially and visually to nature, creating a sense of belonging, even as sustainable design techniques reduce impact. New structures embrace the natural site features of the existing landscape. Each building’s siting and orientation invite the enjoyment of natural light and thermal delight.
