Further Architecture

The studio partners with clients who aim to elevate their everyday experience of home, work, and place. We craft custom and thoughtful solutions to sometimes complex problems using the power of design thinking and an optimistic belief in the emotional resonance of good design. Working closely and collaboratively with clients, we believe that design has the power to create positive change and lasting value.

To serve our clients we leverage many years of professional experience realizing design across various project types, scales, and styles. As principal of the firm, Justin works together with a small team of collaborators as required on each project, maintaining a presence in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Our office is currently licensed to practice in five states: Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Tennessee, and we register for reciprocal licensure on a project-by-project basis as required.

We provide a comprehensive scope of architectural and design services, offering close collaboration for each project, client, site, and budget. The design process of the studio is highly collaborative and idea-driven; empathetic listening along with a rich process of questioning help to arrive at core concepts for design direction. Once the narrative qualities of each project emerges, appropriate forms and materials are assembled to tell this story in the physical, built world.

All of our projects are designed in 3D BIM modeling software (Revit) and we rely heavily on process rendering, sketching, and physical modeling throughout the process. For most of our clients, a full suite of services is what is required to reach aesthetic and performance goals, however each project is different and we can be flexible with your needs and budget.
