A new studio,
founded by
Billie Tsien,
Jennifer Dempsey,
Alex Odom.
Built upon forty
years of experience at
TWBTA.
We believe
in making spaces that give
a sense of grace to life.
Our first responsibility
is to solve problems.
Our second responsibility
is to transcend problems
through design.
We believe the imperfect
process of creativity
begins with the hand.
We make buildings
that are deeply quiet.
And that feel irreducible.
Most of all, we believe
architecture is an act
of optimism.
