Practice and methodology

How a wall meets the foundation dictates how light enters the room

We do not separate structural framing from interior finish. Drawings are precise instructions for craftspeople on site, ensuring complete oversight from initial excavation to the final millwork detail.

Feasibility and Zoning

Envelope Engineering

Permit Documentation

Construction Administration

Rigorous site analysis, setback evaluations, and zoning investigations before initial line is drawn.

Structural framing, geotechnical integration, and thermal performance mapped to interior spatial requirements.

Exhaustive construction documents authored as unambiguous fabrication instructions for on-site trades.

Direct principal oversight on site, aligning structural execution with custom millwork tolerances.

Principal architect

Allison Johnson

With a background grounded in heavy structural architecture and fine millwork detailing, Allison founded the practice to eliminate the compromises that routinely occur when design and construction operate in isolation.

Every project receives direct principal involvement through every phase of zoning, engineering, and site administration.

Field perspective

A renovation should uncover a house's strongest structural truths rather than disguise its bones with transient finishes.
