Our Approach

Our design philosophy is simple; each client is unique and the design prepared for them should reflect this. We accommodate each client’s unique needs by performing an intrinsic analysis, from the room sizes to measurement of furniture and other items that will be part of the final space. Most architects will ask the client to produce this information, known as the "program", a list of ingredients to be included in the design. Many times clients who create their own program leave out crucial information but do not realize it until the design is complete - when it is too late or too costly to make changes.

Our principal, Andrea Montalbano is especially qualified to perform these interviews. She has been trained in both Architecture and Social Science, and has worked with some of the founders of the participatory design process. Her experience allows her to quickly identify and record the most healthful and productive relationships within your own home or business, then incorporate that information into a design that allows the architecture to achieve its greatest potential.
