We easily re-create, in our hearts, the sense of hopelessness and despair, the confining reality of a sterile world."  "We can feel it in ourselves.  And we know, from our own walks through the empty office building, through the still, despairing upstairs mall of shops, or the walk through the empty motel room, devoid of all but a bed and bathroom and small window and plywood door, how real this despair can be, and how little this atmosphere does to sustain us-- how, rather, it can nearly bring us to the brink of hopelessness"</div> <bR> <div> Christopher Alexander ["THE NATURE OF ORDER"]</div> <bR> <bR> <div> In these pages you will get a glimpse of a few of the projects we have finished in the last six years since starting our own architecture firm. We are in a formative and harrowing stage at present (and probably always will be). We are creating our very own form of contemporary "organic" architecture for Marin County and throughout Northern California.  We focus on each project's associated terrain, local community, local materials and tradespersons.  With such a focus we attempt to bring about a kind of synthesis that has profound meaning for the inhabitants of and visitors to our projects.</div> <bR> <div> What we do <I>not</I> focus on is "curb appeal" or re-sale strategies.  Instead we hope to foster meaningful relationships between people and the places they live and work.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U><IMG SRC="18f6bc20.jpg" border=0 width="619" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></B></I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="new_residence_in_sausalito__ca.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Alaria Residence Sausalito, CA"><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Alaria Residence in Sausalito, CA</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="renovation___addition_in_mill_valley.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Davy Residence Mill Valley, CA"><U><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Davy Residence in Mill Valley, CA</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="small_project_for_little_money.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Carport / Parking Deck Sausalito, CA"><U><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Small </U></U></A><A HREF="small_project_for_little_money.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Carport / Parking Deck Sausalito, CA"><U><U>Carport for Very Little Money, Sausalito, CA</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="renovation_of_mill_valley_house.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="HugGarneau Residence Mill Valley, CA"><U><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Hug-Garneau Residence in Mill Valley, CA</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="projects_in_concert_with_other_architects.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="With Others..."><U><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Projects With Others...</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="job_site_communications_for_current_projects.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Works In Progress"><U><I><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a70118aaaaaa00.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Works in Progress....</U></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
