To enhance, enable, and encourage human and ecological health through better architectural design.
Our Mission
“We are studio of designers, architects, and system thinkers committed to developing new solutions to contemporary challenges. ”
The World would be a better place if buildings and their inhabitants could readily contribute to the health and viability of the surrounding Ecosystem. That might be possible if everyone could afford to buy or build a home that could be appropriately sized and sited to provide comfort, safety, and an easily maintainable food source. A Community of complimentary spaces such as these could be the basis for establishing that “better place.”
Our times are radically and rapidly changing, and we at Protos see these moments of flux as an opportunity to help establish a new way of living for our clients. A way that is harmonious, beautiful, and practical. We believe that through better design we can enhance, enable, and encourage human and ecological health. We believe that by building in concert with our clients and their surroundings we can help them efficiently and sensitively evolve during a time of change.
The reality of the building is not in the roof or in the walls but the space within to be lived.”
- Lao Tzu
