VALUES
Responsible Living
Homes should fit the households that live in them, and keep fitting as those households change: growing children, aging parents, pets, and work at home. Potts Lang Architects designs flexible, accessible layouts and houses that are healthy and efficient to live in.
Creative Reuse
The most sustainable building is often the one already standing. Where it makes sense, the practice preserves, rehabilitates, and reuses existing homes, and designs new houses and multifamily buildings to belong on their street.
Transparent Practice
Fees are fixed and agreed in writing before work begins. Every client, whatever the size of the project, receives the same care and attention.
