ärketekcher was founded on the belief that the architectural process should be as transparent to our clients as a word spelled phonetically.We practice transparency by treating the process as an on-going conversation. We view ourselves as more than design experts; we are collaborators, working with clients, consultants, communities, and cities to ensure that all project goals are defined early and ultimately exceeded. At ärk, the relationships we build are as important to us as the buildings we design. We use our core values of collaboration, equity and vision to guide our approach across projects.We are experts at designing homes at all scales. From a cherished family home to a large multi-family development, ärk understands what makes places feel like home. At each scale, we approach projects with the knowledge of who we are designing these spaces for: who will live in them and whose resources and well-being depend on the project's success.
