We approach all jobs in a similar fashion — placing value on a collaborative design approach throughout the entire project, bringing the expertise of professional sub-consultants into the early stages of the project. This allows for clarity and consistency throughout all job phases and into construction.
(Design Philosophy)
(Design Philosophy)
Our goal is to provide compelling design, technical expertise and a collaborative environment that exceeds the client’s vision. Knowing that successful projects require conscientious management and abundantly clear communication, principals Daniel Scovill and Adam Winig create a positive experience from conceptual design to the realization of each project’s goals and aspirations.
We believe in an enriching and collaborative charrette process. Fostering strategic conversations between creative thinkers about programming, design interventions and overall strategy forms a vital cornerstone for our projects and ultimately informs our style.

Gather.
We step into the character of Concept, becoming the living embodiment of an idea in motion. From this place, we reach outward—to find, connect, and collaborate with those whose instincts align. Together, we shape thought into matter, intuition into design.

Explore.
Our process is method—an embodied practice. Like method actors, we dissolve the distance between designer and idea. We live inside the narrative until the design begins to speak for itself. Every texture, tone, and decision is born from that lived understanding.

Execute.
Design is not a style; it’s a transparent process built on trust and exchange. We believe the strongest outcomes are born from openness—when designers, collaborators, and clients share ideas without pretense. Execution is where collaboration becomes tangible, where clarity replaces ego, and where every decision is guided by what serves the work best.
