we are five

 

This September marks a big milestone for we are _ - we’ve officially been designing, sketching, planning, and dreaming with our clients for five years.

When we started in 2020 (yes… that 2020), the world felt a little upside down. But instead of seeing it as a setback, we grabbed the opportunity to build something we truly believed in — a practice based on friendship, trust, and the belief that architecture should feel personal.

 

Over the past five years, we’ve:

  • Helped families turn houses into dream homes

  • Designed inspiring workplaces for local businesses

  • Collaborated with other architects on exciting projects

  • Navigated new housing regulations (sometimes over far too much coffee!)

 

Through it all, one thing has stayed the same: our belief that architecture isn’t just about buildings — it’s about people, places, and the stories in between.

 

And now we’re starting something new.

 

To celebrate our fifth birthday, we’re launching our new blog, written twice a month. Here, we’ll share:

  • Local and national architectural news

  • Insights on housing, planning, and regulations

  • Behind-the-scenes looks at our projects

  • Tips, trends, and ideas to inspire anyone thinking about design

 

Think of it as a way to stay connected - whether you’re a client, collaborator, or just love architecture as much as we do. We hope it becomes a space where conversation, curiosity, and creativity thrive.

Here’s to five years of building, learning, and designing and to many more stories ahead.
