At the conclusion of each year, it is always bitter-sweet to see another year in the proverbial “rear view mirror”. So it is again with 2022. As the year reaches a speedy conclusion, we recall memories of family and close friends sharing special occasions and celebrations that we fear may be lost for good. Then we realize that with the beginning of another new year, every day presents new opportunities to broaden our friendships, experience new places, face new challenges and watch those we love accomplish great things in their young lives.

One of the wonderful and satisfying things about what we do as design professionals, is the creative collaboration with our clients and the other design and construction team members we work with daily. We never tire of seeing architecture incubate from a simple idea to an outcome that each contributor can be proud to place their “handprints” upon. Thanks to our many clients who have trusted us with this responsibility for the past 36 years. Also, thanks to each of you that dreamed the project, solved the details, studied the proportions, selected the colors, poured the concrete, erected the steel, and worked together as a team. Working with such inspiring and talented people makes me more optimistic than ever about a New Year ahead.

Wishing everyone the best 2023.
