The Plan

Step 1: Every project starts with a conversation.

Every project starts with a conversation. We want to understand your vision, goals, and challenges to see how we can work together. It’s a chance to share ideas and explore what’s possible .

Step 2: Explore Ideas

We invite you to our office—because great ideas happen in inspiring spaces. We’ll dig into the project’s potential, explore creative solutions, and talk through the smartest way forward. Expect honest feedback and a process that pushes beyond the status quo .

Step 3: Make It Real

Once we’re all in, we get to work. A formal agreement sets the scope, timeline, and investment, and then we dive into design. We stay hands-on from start to finish, making sure the final result is as thoughtful and bold as the idea that started it.

Working with an Architect: “Bits of Architecture” Video Series

Bea and I are concerned that most people have no idea how the architectural design process ACTUALLY happens, as opposed to the way it’s portrayed on TV. Our intent with this video series is to communicate the way a quality-focused, small, husband-and-wife architectural firm goes about designing projects. Above is our introduction video, in which we say hello and outline our intent. Each video below contains a different topic.

Episode 1: Introduction

Episode 2: In this episode, we will review a few “First Steps” for the massing of a project. We will show ways to sculpt the generic volumes allowed by zoning ordinances. This is how a project begins!

Episode 3: In this episode, we walk you through the design of our remarkable “513 Court Place” project.

Episode 4: “Affordability”: In this episode, we will explain how we can work on projects with limited scope and budget. ALL of our projects are treated with the same care for good design and attention to details.

Episode 5: In this episode, we talk about the longest residential cantilever in Pittsburgh (and likely beyond!): The “Emerald Art Glass” Residence!

Episode 6: In this video, we guide you through the “The Architecture Process”, from the beginning of a project to its completion.

Episode 7: In this video, we talk about “The River House”

We’re women owned, LEED, WELL, SBA, AIA and GBA.

Women-owned businesses enjoy several advantages, including access to government contracts and programs, and corporate supplier diversity initiatives. Also, they receive networking opportunities, enhanced credibility, visibility, and educational resources.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers significant benefits to small businesses, including access to funding, entrepreneurial development resources, and government contracting opportunities. SBA loans, in particular, provide unique advantages over conventional loans, such as lower down payments, longer terms, and competitive interest rates.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) offers several benefits to its members, including networking opportunities, career advancement tools, and advocacy for the profession. It also provides exclusive access to resources like industry research, educational materials, and member discounts. Ultimately, AIA membership can enhance professional credibility and support career goals.

The primary purpose of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is to promote and recognize sustainable building practices, leading to the creation of high-performance, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective buildings. It provides a framework for designing, constructing, and operating buildings that minimize environmental impact and maximize efficiency.

A WELL Certified project has the potential to add measurable value to the health, well-being, productivity, and happiness of building occupants. By placing people at the heart of design, construction, operations and development decisions, we have the ability to add value to real estate assets, generate savings in personnel costs, and enhance the human experience, health and well-being.

The Green Building Alliance (GBA) is a regional organization that promotes healthy and high-performance buildings and communities, focusing on sustainability and environmental responsibility. It achieves this through education, networking, and the development of resources and initiatives.
