nC2 architecture llc

We are a design-oriented, full-service architectural practice established in 2006. Our approach is thoughtful, collaborative, inquisitive and reflective of deep beliefs in what constitutes good design. We believe that design affects people's lives in ways that are deeper than aesthetics. We create environments in which life stories unfold. We believe we have a responsibility to create thoroughly good design. And we believe that every good design starts with a clear understanding of function and use, consideration of the surrounding context and and a deep appreciation of client direction. We believe in embracing complexity. Many factors affect design - the client’s needs, tastes and budget, the existing context, both historic and physical, the talents of each member of the design team, the need to be as judicious as possible with our natural resources, as well as technical considerations such as building systems and code constraints. We believe that it is the architect’s task to dig deep and extract the essence of these influences and then synthesize these factors into a functionally and aesthetically coherent work of architecture.
