North Point Estates

Moncton, the largest city in New Brunswick, Canada, is unlike any city in the nation. It features the bustling city life of Toronto or Vancouver, while surrounded by large waterways and coniferous landscapes.

Additionally, the maritime province is an excellent place to enjoy fresh seafood thanks to the large bodies of water that flow to Moncton’s shores from the North Atlantic Ocean. Known as the “Hub City” to locals, the area is centrally located to some of Canada’s best sights throughout the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia provinces. ... More

FIT Fresh Air Appliances

The low-profile design of this FIT  Series of fresh air appliances simplifies installations with limited mechanical space, such as over a false ceiling. These fresh air appliances, the FIT 70E, the FIT 120E, the FIT 120E-D, the FIT 120E-D-EC, the FIT 120E-M, the FIT 120E-D-M, and the FIT 120E-D-EC-M, are designed for multi-family residential applications.

Geode ADU

Geode ADU is a small (640 square feet) recently completed accessory dwelling unit that supplements and contrasts an existing mid-century modern Eichler house in Burlingame, CA. The client's brief requested a design for a writing studio and guest unit, as a 'place apart' from the main house and also an inspiring work of architecture -- both in its exterior form and materials, and in its interior spatial character. The design response evolved as a very particular three-dimensional form, with a polygonal plan and a section inflected to both slope and view.  Helping to further shape the design were an unusually-shaped lot with significant topography which impacts the buildable footprint; strict zoning constraints regarding setbacks, size a...
