Look closely.
Then imagine.
Architecture · Adaptive Reuse · Sensory Design
We are curious about people, places, old buildings, how things feel, and possibilities that aren't obvious yet. Sometimes the work isn't about adding more. It's about noticing the magic that's already there.
Different places. Different answers.

Residential
Homes shaped around the people who live in them — how they gather, retreat, move, rest, and connect with the world outside.
-
![]()
Adaptive Reuse
Existing buildings have stories, constraints and possibilities. We look for what is worth keeping, what can change, and what the building might become next.

Sensory Design
Spaces considered through light, sound, temperature, texture, movement and other sensory qualities that shape how a place feels.

Placemaking
Buildings, landscape, streets and people considered as one composition — creating places that feel connected, alive and like they belong.

Multifamily
Homes are also communities. We think about the spaces between buildings, opportunities to gather and retreat, and how individual homes become part of a larger place.
You know when a place feels right.
The light. The proportions. The way you move through it. The relationship to nature. Where you instinctively want to sit, gather, work, retreat or simply be.
We take time to look, listen, question and explore before settling on an answer. Because the decisions made early can shape everything that follows.
We don't begin with a signature style. We begin by paying attention.
Every project deserves its own answer.
Sometimes you need an architect. Sometimes you need an architect's thinking.
Concept Design
We find the idea and direction that can carry a project forward—with sparkSTUDIO or another architect.
Full-Service Architecture
For selected projects, particularly adaptive reuse, we stay with the work from the first questions through construction.
Sensory Design
We design around how a place is actually felt—or bring a sensory perspective to a project already underway.
“You understood what we were hoping for and translated it into something tangible and beautiful. We’ve absolutely loved working with you.”
-homeowners
“sparkSTUDIO lives up to its name. Full of imagination, creativity, and energy, with an ability to look closely and find possibilities others might miss.”
-homeowner & developer
“You are both deeply creative and grounded. It is rare to find architects who can imagine what could be and also know how to make it real.”
-developer
Still curious.
We write about the things we keep wondering about—light, old buildings, sensory experience, energy, community and why some places simply feel right.
Architects live with the unfortunate stigma around their tendency to make projects more expensive. While it may be true in many instances, a good Architect can help you reduce the overall cost of construction. The trick is to find a competent Architect and establish a trusting relationship with them.
