To provide thorough and comprehensive design services to the local community and beyond.
To understand the interaction between building structures and the God-inspired beauty of the earth and sky connection.
To communicate the values of individuals and businesses through the design of their sites and structures.
We believe that God is Light and that His Light brings peace to man’s hearts. We believe that natural light is an extension of that, and we seek to incorporate it into our designs to maximize the positive effect it has on work and living spaces.
We believe that God created the world with intricate beauty and intention, and we endeavor to seek for ways to connect the things that man builds with the natural beauty of God’s creation.
We believe that education is an important part of preparation. Without minimizing the value of higher education, we place a high value on practical, hands-on experience. We want to encourage and nurture the blessing of the master/apprentice practice.
We believe there is value in being relevant. Technology changes. Material options, design styles, and construction processes change as well. We endeavor to be innovative and adaptable to the current state of the industry.
