Listening
01We walk before we draw. Slope, wind, existing trees, and the place you already sit all stay in the plan.
Private land practice
Hold the ground.
Acres & Yards composes residences and the land around them as one work — yards you inhabit, acres that keep their quiet.
Scroll
The house is the smaller part of the drawing.
We work with families who already know the weight of a place. The brief is rarely more space. It is a better proportion between rooms, paths, trees, and the hour the light arrives.

02Selected grounds
Three places, recently in the studio.
Each commission is a residence and its surroundings, drawn together.
03The practice
Walk, then draw, then stay.
Composition
02House, yard, and acre are one drawing. Paths bend toward a view that is worth the walk.
Stewardship
03When the work is built, we return. Hedges, water, and the small repairs that keep a place settled.
