their philosophy: "Vernacular building types exhibit our most essential responses to the environment. Response to light, air, water, vegetation, materials, and topography are evident through critical analysis of these built forms...contrary to buildings of ‘stature’, vernacular structures age with grace, gaining perceived value and acceptance while becoming a part of the ‘geography’ rather than a reflection of the taste of an era."
the firm was founded by Tim de Noble, an architect and educator, whose main area of study is the typology and morphology of small towns. learn more about de Noble and DeMx here.
