Team

Architects. Designers. Planners.


“Architecture, design and planning at Method Architecture starts with a signature process and the process is the foundational idea behind more than just a building, more than designing a space that people use. We bring talent to the table by what we do and how we’ve been trained as architects, but the end-product is driven by the client’s wants and needs. To make that happen through structure design takes a team. The Method architect is like the quarterback; the first person to take all of the information and coordinate the team and the play to create the customer’s signature product, be it a personal home or a corporate building. That is the role of a Method Architect.”
