Modern + sustainable custom homes and remodels based in Bend, Oregon.
Hi! We’d love to help you design and build your dream home.
Based in Bend, Oregon, we’re a residential architecture firm and construction company focused on designing and building one-of-a-kind modern and sustainable custom homes and remodels throughout Central Oregon.
With a strong dedication to innovative design, customer service, environmental stewardship and progressive business operations, our mission is to A) create exceptional, one-of-a-kind projects for our clients; B) create solutions for humans to more intelligently inhabit this planet; and C) provide phenomenal jobs for our team and partners.
Our Approach
We believe that your dream home should be a physical representation of who you are, your story, your values and lifestyle, as well as drawing inspiration and relationship with your surroundings, both built and natural. All leading to a design that, like you, is truly one-of-a-kind!
From a management perspective, our goal is to give you agency in the outcome throughout design and construction, and provide you with timely and transparent information so that you can make smart decisions for yourselves, whether design, quality, cost or schedule related.
Why the Design/Build Delivery Model?
Of course, we're HUGE believers in the design-build delivery method:
Because we're builders we know current construction costs. We'll guide you in the design phases with ideas/designs that help balance "what you want" with your budget, and help you prioritize.
Because we're architects and designers and all one team, we can make adjustments or changes during construction really easily and make design-informed decisions on the fly.
You don't have to juggle coordination and management with multiple teams/companies.
You don’t have to go through the VERY painful process of paying for a design that you later find out you can’t afford.
We'll collaborate with you and help you master plan, design, engineer, permit and construct your project - all as one team.
We'll maximize and manage your budget, and walk with you hand-in-hand through the entire design-build process, beginning to end.
