About

We are a husband-wife team dedicated to design-forward, context-rich revitalization and small-scale, incremental development. Based in Columbus, IN, we focus on infill housing, multi-family, and mixed-use projects that strengthen communities and build long-term resilience.

Our backgrounds are rooted in storytelling, architecture, design ethnography, and systems thinking. Together, we bring a deep respect for the social and physical fabric of cities, shaped by our time living and working in places like Dundee (Scotland), Berlin (Germany), Toronto (Canada), and Nashville, TN (USA).

Our work addresses wicked problems; therefore, our practice is rooted in wicked collaboration. We aim to create spaces for people with different experiences and skills to come together to better understand 'what is' and co-create 'what could be.'

At our core, we believe resilient places are built incrementally — one intentional project, one strong community at a time.
