We’ve added a few pages to our Residential page, highlighting the YoungHouse (left), Raven Oaks (center), and Hilary projects (right). Each is stylistically quite different, but the fundamental adherence to our Core Beliefs and Design Tenets is unmistakable.


Very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal, “Cross Cultural Lines of Beauty” on the influence of the arabesque motif on European design, and in particular, the Art Nouveau movement. An upcoming exhibition at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., is the basis for the article, and explores the cultural influence of Islamic architecture and design every bit as influential as that of Japan during the same period. Alphonse Mucha’s cover illustration for La Plume (right) is a classic example of this influence.


Our practice was opened in 2004, and have developed a diverse portfolio of projects that explore a core set of beliefs and principles. Key among these is our emphasis on people; the notion that architecture is an art form dependent on human interaction and participation. We are often asked, “What kind of architecture do you do—residential, commercial…?” We are equally comfortable with all types of architecture, as our skills and interests transcend building types. We seek clients who appreciate quality space, value design, and participate in the process that is architecture.


Our portfolio is broadly divided into Residential, Commercial, KBOL (Kitchens, Baths, and Outdoor Living) and GeorgeStudio. For more about us and how we work, click on the About tab. Our blog page, Sketchbook, is an ever-changing repository of ideas and thoughts.


Architecture remains for us the quest for beauty in the built environment.

We have a passion for people and design, and delight in creating environments into which our clients can deeply connect.

Regardless of project size, we seek clients who appreciate the notion of quality, and value the efforts necessary to achieve it.

Design is a process, not an end result; it is dynamic and highly participatory. Participation is key to enriched experiences.

Ours is a profession of perpetual learning and development, and continued exploration and experimentation.

The notion of craftsmanship and discipline pervades all our principles and techniques.
