Design with Purpose

PRAGMATIC

COMMUNICATION

From sketching ideas out right in front of you, to regular updates, we keep you on the same page with the design team and builders all the way through the process.

NATURALISM

There's a better way, and we're after it. Applying modern science to natural materials, we can achieve contemporary comfort and minimal impact.

PERFORMANCE

A high performance building is not only energy-efficient, but it gives YOU energy to live the life you want.A great house is the one that sets you FREE.

THE STUDIO

"It's in the act of making things that we figure out who we are."

It's nice to have a calm guiding hand to lead a home renovation.

The quality of a home renovation plan rests on the attention and creativity of the architect. The faithful implementation of the plan rests on the relationship between the architect, the builder, the homeowner, and others. Mr. Albrecht's enthusiasm for his design work shows in these ways and more. He listens and communicates well. He helps the homeowner to develop their intents and translates them into plans to guide the builder. Upon completion of the plans, he remains available and responsive when questions arise. Mr. Albrecht either knows or gets to know those involved in the project. He does that not to interfere, but to learn from their contributions and coordinate his work. He collaborates effectively.

"Overall, we are lucky to have his agreeable teamwork supporting us and our project."
