We prefer to design what we offer to build. In general, we shy away from projects that have been designed by another architect or draftsperson.
Design Only → Architecture
Residential → Sometimes we design projects we don't build, for special builders and clients we love working with!
Commercial → Science + Technology. Laboratories. BSL-1 to BSL-4. Retail. Restaurant. Automotive. Business. Government. Education. Higher Education.
"I believe the best contractors have well-worn boots and home away from home is their jobsite."

Why Sarah is not a typical builder
Yes
She Builds Like an Architect
Care → Extreme 'give a damn' about building science
Registered Professional Architect → She's an overqualified homebuilder, but it's the route she chose to control the outcome of her work
Construction Integrity → Direct focus on water + moisture-worthy building assemblies. This climate requires special attention. No price bracket of construction is immune to nasty construction flaws. Leaks, mold, mildew... let's avoid all of that with good design and construction!
$$$ → Energy efficient detailing and construction. Air sealing; Materials that are installed to manufacturer's specifications (What?! Who does that?!); Fresh air energy recovery... the works!
No
She says 'No' a lot
Bandwidth → She won't overcommit to too many projects. It's how she over-delivers.
Acceptance → She won't accept workmanship that doesn't meet her requirements
Compatibility → There's no room for bad fits
Intentionality → Selective about which projects she takes on
Maybe
Anything is possible
She has the skills and the trades to build anything
Custom → She designs everything from scratch
Personalized → She customizes each project to owner's needs and lifestyle
Limitless → Steel, Concrete, Wood, Glass... Her palate is unlimited
