For us the most important person is the client. They have knowledge that we don't and so we try to be very good listeners, drawing the client(s) into the design process. Designing primarily for people (as opposed to an obsession with the image of the building) is our overriding concern and we are very gratified that many of our past clients have returned to us with new projects and almost all have become good friends. We are also passionate about how we detail our buildings as well as how to make intelligent use of a client's always limited budget and ensure together we leave behind a legacy of sustainable buildings.
