At any given moment, we are working on transit oriented mixed-use buildings, townhouses and rowhouses, single-family homes, and accessory dwelling units, for clients ranging from custom homeowners to speculative developers and affordable housing providers.  Each project is unique but shares a goal of contributing thoughtfully designed homes to the Seattle and Charlotte regions. We achieve this goal by pursuing constant improvement in our processes, seeking diversity of thought, and making room for new ideas.
