Birth Places: this is the interpretation of the name of our firm. A birth place is a place where a new co-creation, the act of creating-together,  comes into existence and where that new existent  is nourished. it implies relationship which is at the heart of all that exists and is foundational through, with and in our approach to the practice of  Architecture.

D e s i g n   P h i l o so p h y

Our firm is driven by a philosophy of relationality. everything that exists is essentially in relation.  We evaluate everything relative to the design solution in its whole and in its parts,  by how well its existence participates in this three dimensional relationship of gratuity (gift given), receptivity (gift received)  and fecundity (gift composed). We seek to approach the design solution with a sensitivity oriented toward a certain intangibleness that we refer to as the "sprit of the place" which incorporates the totality of our environment as it relates to the human person and is inclusive of both  the material and immaterial constraints.
