OUR COMMITMENT
We see architecture and structure as one integrated entity serving as an expression of a wholistic design. A building design for a commercial enterprise shall denote the presence of that business in the environment. Our goal is to express the individuality and character of the entity through our design and make a clear statement of the presence of that entity to be recognized within the context of the other buildings. We also endeavor to operate in a manner that embraces stewardship and responsibility through contribution and participation with involved groups and commissions focused on sustainability in the community, Integration of sustainability practices into our designs, minimization of energy needs and incorporation of an array of sustainable elements on our projects.
We are a charter member of the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) , we play an active role in promoting sustainability and social responsibility, and we address the above values with the same rigor in every project.
“There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person’s lawful prey. It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
“The Common Law of Business Balance” as posted above is a statement on price attributed to John Ruskin, the English writer, philosopher, art critic and polymath of the Victorian era, author of "The Stones of Venice."
