“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” - Frank Gehry.

Some legacies are remembered not only in history, but in the foundations they leave behind. Grateful for those whose sacrifice helped shape the communities, freedoms, and futures we continue to build upon. 🏛️

One of the most important decisions in residential architecture happens before the first sketch is drawn.

Should the home feel rooted in tradition?
Or open, modern, and connected to light and landscape?

In our latest article, Modern vs Colonial: Choosing Your Architectural Style in Connecticut, I discuss how each architectural language influences not just aesthetics, but functionality, cost, and longevity.

Architecture is ultimately about creating a home that feels right for the people living in it.

Design rarely moves in a straight line.

This Easter Monday, let's revisit the early concept for Our Lady of Aparecida Church. What began as a more modern interpretation shifted, at the request of the committee, toward something more rooted in tradition.

That’s the work. Studying the great churches like St. Peter’s Basilica and Notre-Dame Cathedral, then translating those timeless principles into something original for today.

It’s a process of listening, refining, and trusting when the design finally feels right.
