We call our philosophy Critical Stewardship

Critical Stewardship is an approach to design based on the universal responsibility to history and the environment, valued through the lens of community.

The stewardship of our valuable resources (environmental, built or cultural) is emboldened by creativity, which is critical in both senses: essential yet offering critique. 

We must trust ourselves to make both bold and nuanced determinations about change based on research, analysis and context over dogmatic requirements (strict preservation techniques or environmental rating systems).

We embrace an approach that yields vastly different outcomes in different contexts.
