Design With Nature

Love of life and/or living systems.
Based in Central Virginia, my practice was founded in pursuit of authentic, meaningful design that has a positive effect on people’s lives. At its most inspiring, I believe that good architecture must elevate human culture while fostering and sustaining a kinship with the natural world.
Thoughtful modern design, therefore, entails a generalist’s touch guided by an abiding sense that deep affiliations with Nature are essential to human health and emotional well-being and that stewardship is a given. My process seeks this balance in the design of buildings, spaces and places that are careful extensions of the native landscape, client-and-site responsive and well-crafted with high quality, sustainable methods and materials.
The following portfolio comprises a small sampling of projects intended to illuminate the key to a diverse body of work that does not adhere to a particular stylistic predilection: that just as no two clients or sites are alike, no two design responses are alike. Information on the gamut of projects not represented here can be provided upon request.
