Last month, we had a chance to do another one of our Team Days. With a very busy summer, we hadn’t had an opportunity to do a Team Day since March, though we did have a great offsite last May. On other Team Days, we’ve built gingerbread houses, visited some of our favorite local art

We are very lucky to have lots of projects currently under construction! One that we are particularly excited about is Tranquil Guest House, a new guest house for our clients at Tranquil Abiding. It is so fun to be able to work with the same clients for a second project and to be adding to

We are thrilled to share that after a long winter, construction is back underway at Rebus! We had to pause construction until warmer weather headed our way in order to pour the concrete slab for the floor. As you likely know, slab pours are some of our favorite days – and this one was no

In the past two years, we’ve made a concerted effort to bring our office together for a series of sessions that we’ve called Lunch and Learns. Broadly speaking, Lunch and Learns in the architectural field are typically hour long sessions with product reps or field experts. They usually showcase a particular product or material. In

It is hard to believe that our last construction update at South Mountain House was back in July! We’ve made lots of progress on the house and it should be nearing completion in the next few months. We’re thrilled to be able to share the grand see-thru entryway that steps down through the house and
