It feels terrible to be sharing projects, places, peregrinations given the state of the world, and the world at home.

But here we are on a long planned excursion. The Airbnb in which we are staying offers lots of perspective, both literal and figurative.

Les Arènes de Nîmes.
(Whoops sorry about that poorly cropped section!)

Largely from Wikipedia: The Arena of Nimes is a Roman amphitheatre in Nîmes, Southern France. Built around 100 AD, shortly after the Colosseum of Rome, and in a similar timeframe as that of Arles, it is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. It is 133 metres long and 101 metres wide, with an arena measuring 68 by 38 metres. The outer facade is 21 metres high with two storeys of 60 arcades. It is among the 20 largest Roman amphitheatres of the 400 in existence. In Roman times, the building could hold 24,000 spectators, who were spread over 34 tiers of terraces divided into four self-contained zones or maeniana.

During Roman times, the Arena of Nîmes functioned as an arena where gladiators battled each other and wild animals. The advent of early medieval Christianity marked the end of these events, prompting the transformation of the amphitheater into a fortress and subsequently a walled town. The 19th century saw the restoration of the arena, accompanied by the removal of houses that had been constructed inside it.

Today, the Arena of Nîmes is the site of two annual bullfights during the Feria de Nîmes, and it is also used for other public events like the reenactment of antiquity “The great Roman Games” and for concerts.

We’re honored to be featured in Forbes’ “America’s Best-In-Stste” list!

“An expansion of the research-and-evaluations processes created to produce Forbes’ Top Residential Architects 2025 list, our methodology for this list drilled even deeper into the unique circumstances—cultural, social, economic, political, lifestyle, and beyond—that shape the markets for the custom single-family house in each individual state.”

Having been already included in Forbes’ Top Residential Architects 2025 last year, this subsequent honor is a powerful validation of our dedication to creating sustainably minded, artfully crafted homes, that are deeply connected to their place. We are incredibly proud to be recognized—twice—for these principles, which remain the heart of everything we produce as a firm.
