Projects

Work that had to hold.

Two categories, one standard. Residential is where most of the work sits; commercial and light industrial projects follow the same process.

The same standard at any size

A single beam in a row house and a tenant fit-out in a commercial shell get the same treatment: look at what's there, work out what it carries, and draw it so it can be built.

That's why the practice can move between residential, commercial and light industrial work without changing how it runs.
