Leonardo da Vinci's Ideal Man, the image of a man in a circle, conveys that the uniformity of proportions of the human being are gracious and elegant, from head to toe. French architect Le Corbusier updated this theory based on those classical ideas of proportion, harmony and balance. His belief, the Modular, published in 1950, was that these proportions were needed to find balance between human and machine or building. As architects, that search for balance is in everything we do. Work and family, cost and benefits, beauty and function, safety and comfort, public and private to name a few. Although a little different then "Corbu," we strive to find that balance in all our projects. Communicate with clients to understand their needs and goals, translating those into solutions through responsive building design; plans and specifications for construction; and assure that the client goals and design intent are achieved.
