Other Works Architecture

We are Architects meticulously designing places and spaces that are deeply tied to their context,
Our work is led by curiosity toward our clients and toward their properties. We design site-sensitive, specific, and personal homes that respond to the intimate details of our clients’ lives.

As Architects, listening to and understanding our clients and their sites are our most valuable skills. Each project is a reflection of the relationship we develop with the client and with the land on which the project sits. Our instincts are quirky, timeless, and personal, always designing in response to site and always in relationship with our clients.

As designers, we trust in process over all else. Our team prioritizes curiosity, creativity, and community-building over capital. That means creating space for new ideas to emerge, and supporting them as they develop into initiatives, ventures, products, and movements. Ask us what we’re working on!

“When I was young, I would read anthologies of bygone authors - ‘Gulliver’s Travels and Other Writings’, ‘The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories’, ‘Candide and Other Works’. The stories that I treasured were rarely those advertised on the cover; they were the gems quietly hidden behind the alias ‘…other works’. I reveled in the fact that what resonated with me were stories that needed discovering. They felt personal - as if they were not written for everyone, but written for me.

This is the feeling that we strive to create for you, our clients; to feel seen in the creative process and to leave with an architecture that was
undoubtedly written for you. ”
