Art of Architecture

The art of architecture considers context—it considers the larger scene in which the home is set. With every home design, we seek to reflect natural beauty in our work. We use colors, materials, and textures that work with the landscape, and we use landscape to frame those elements.

“Architecture is not based on concrete and steel, and the elements of the soil. It’s based on wonder.” Daniel Libeskind

Every time we put pencil, pen, or brush to paper, we discover new corners of creativity. It is in exercising art that we deepen our understanding of the beauty of architecture.

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” Winston Churchill

Each sketch pushes us to think creatively, to begin simply. Only paper, pencil, and inspiration from the clients. Pursuing architecture as art means each home is an entirely new creation, unique in beauty, purpose, and context. This is the art of architecture.

“Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.” Julia Morgan

Some projects are new beginnings. Others are rediscoveries. Woodway Restoration allowed us to revive and expand the beauty of a historic Washington home…and, in doing so, to partner with architects of days past.

“One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again.” – Renzo Piano The art of architecture is born of great ideas depicted with our simplest tools–pencil, ink, paint, and paper.

“Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.” – Ernest Dimnet

The pursuit of beauty defines our work. We seek to understand and capture it at every step–from concept to final construction.
