OUR BEGINNING

In the spring of 1979 two young Architects, in pursuit of more fun and fulfillment both in their professional careers and personal lives, left their jobs with a prominent Sacramento office and set about on a “temporary” venture of doing a few small architectural projects combined with a little skiing, river rafting, and Frisbee in the park.  The grand plan was to dabble in architecture until the end of summer at which time they would go in search of new employment.  However, by fall the pair found themselves with a number of their design projects in the midst of construction, several more under contract, and a backlog of potential Clients.  The notion of a temporary venture had blossomed into a full-time commitment to pursue new work based upon core values of Creativity, Sensitivity, and Reliability.
