Our Services

Architecture

We are a full service Architectural practice with our work grounded in harmony, integrity, and simplicity, yet defined by individual expression. Each project begins with a vision, thoughtfully carried from concept through completion. We believe architecture should inspire while fostering a sense of calm. By balancing expressive moments with restraint, creating spaces that are both defined and enduring. Guided by the needs of those who inhabit them, our designs consider the rhythm of daily life and the relationships between people, place, and environment.

Slipblock

Design Study

Conceptual design of a contemporary home with a central standing seam metal mass sliding through brick blocks of intersecting rooflines, this home possesses axial symmetry. Immediately upon entering, you are in the central spine and can see outside through the other side. The blocks of living spaces have expansive ceilings and windows, creating their own volumes, which contrast with the height and light of the space between them.

Ott Wilson Rd.

Renovation & Addition
2026 | Springfield, TN

With minimal intervention to the existing residence, this project focuses on an addition that introduces a spacious garage, a private primary suite, a dedicated mudroom, laundry and storage spaces, and a covered outdoor living area. A brick wainscot establishes a strong visual connection to the original brick home, while fiber cement board-and-batten and lap siding offer a contrast of texture and scale.

Forte Rd.

Renovation & Addition
2026 | Joelton, TN

Opening up the interior of this home resulted in the client's dream kitchen and open living concept, while converting the existing garage expanded the home's livable area. A thoughtfully composed addition establishes a new primary point of entry for everyday use with a generous mudroom and laundry space. Positioned for privacy and oriented toward the wooded rear landscape, the primary suite serves as a quiet and private space.
