Metcalfe Architecture & Design

The design process is a conversation. Our experience as both institutional staff and builders helps us to understand the diverse perspectives of everyone involved in a project. We ask many questions and listen carefully. Every job is unique. We work hard to understand our client's objectives, budget, expectations, culture and mission. This conversation results in a collaboration that yields the most appropriate design language for the project. We build budget analysis into every step of the process, working closely with contractors and fabricators. We create playful, family-friendly learning environments, intimate living areas and inviting commercial spaces. We work for sustainability and incorporate green design elements wherever possible.
