"Primarily high-end residential - conservative but nice shake-style large homes and smaller renovations. Wants to expand to University work. Occasional interesting commercial project. Utilities warehouse renovations (in hopes of landing a corporate headquarters)."
"Principals do not have a unifying design idea. They hire disciplined, decent designers; ask them to produce MANY schemes; then tend to combine them into impossible-to-work composites."
"It would be nice place to start - low pressure, bucolic discussions, lots of great reference books to browse. No career path or personal growth there."
"Hierarchy was never defined, which led to jealousy and pettiness."
"[If management would listen, I would ask them to] please be more professional. Don't assume *rich clients* only want pottery-barn architecture."
