Meet the Team!

“My favorite part of this project is getting to work with the meadow and forest setting. It’s a nice break from the city, and it’s interesting to design for a different kind of site. This project is unique because we get to work with a historic building and a very natural and beautiful site and try to design a new building that addresses both.”
