Journal
Short notes from the studio on daylight, materials and the way we work. Written by the people who draw the buildings.

Untreated wood can last for generations on the west coast. What decides its lifetime is not the paint, but how fast it dries.
Why every project starts with a site visit
Maps and drone photos are useful, but they never show where the snow drifts or where the wind comes from. A day on the ground does.
