Steward community

We firmly believe that access to good design is a basic human right. Ingrained in our approach is an ethos of environmental citizenship and social responsibility that aims to enhance human well-being. Our work fits within any schedule and any budget as long as our ideals are aligned and our minds are armed with ‘yes, and…’

Resist Inertia

We are a workshop: a collaborative environment where things get made. Research and experimentation are vital to our process. We aim to constantly test the bounds and limits of architecture and design. We are interested in working with people who are curious about what their project could be.

Listen Intently

In the true spirit of collaboration, we believe that every voice has value, and every idea has potential. Our colleagues and clients are our partners in design and making, and we are always open to suggestions and questions both large and small. We check our egos at the door and remain open to unforeseen possibilities.

Sweat the details

Every detail – both material and experiential – is important to us. We aim to provide design that is personal, professional, and impeccable. We agonize over every decision, drawing, model, specification, schedule, and budget, so you don’t have to.

Get dirty

All design is rooted in making. We reject the notion that design happens at a desk or computer. We love the smell of freshly poured concrete and sawn wood. We experiment and prototype until the best solution is discovered. We take play seriously, work hard, and love what we do. Sometimes this means getting a little dirty.
