about us

who we are

Lisa and Daren are partners in life and in work, rooted in a shared passion for designing architecture that’s both personal and purposeful. Grounded yet imaginative, we bring warmth, curiosity, and craftsmanship to everything we do. Our approach is deeply collaborative - centered around the belief that good design enhances everyday life and connects people more meaningfully to their surroundings. We create spaces that feel bespoke, beautiful, and deeply in tune with the natural and human elements that define a sense of place.

what we do

We design lifestyle-focused architecture that is both modern and timeless - where beauty meets function, and creativity is grounded in practicality. Through a process that is hands-on, laid back, and highly attentive, we translate your ideas, passions, and routines into thoughtful spaces designed to elevate daily living. Every detail is considered, from the elemental to the expressive. Our services are curated, collaborative, and detail-driven - from concept through completion - delivering spaces that feel natural, intentional, and uniquely yours.

Our low overhead means we can prioritize your investment, putting more into what matters: your project. We curate each phase of the project with care, ensuring a process that’s practical, transparent, and—dare we say—fun. No egos, no fluff. Just skilled design rooted in craft, connection, and creating beautiful spaces that feel like home.
