The Practice
Woven is a multidisciplinary practice that seamlessly integrates architecture, development, and construction management. We believe that a holistic approach, where design, feasibility, and execution are considered in unison, leads to more thoughtful, efficient, and ultimately more successful projects.
Our unique structure allows us to bridge the traditional gaps between these disciplines. By bringing the perspectives of the designer, the developer, and the builder under one roof, we foster a collaborative environment from the earliest stages of a project. This unified approach minimizes miscommunication, identifies potential challenges proactively, and ensures that the initial design intent is carried through to the final built form.
-
Our design philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of context, user needs, and material honesty. We craft spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also enduring and responsible. Our architectural team excels at creating innovative solutions that respond to a wide range of project types, from bespoke residential homes to large-scale multifamily and commercial buildings. We are dedicated to creating spaces that enrich the lives of their occupants and contribute positively to the communities they serve.
-
As developers, we possess a keen understanding of market dynamics and the intricate process of bringing a project to life. We specialize in identifying opportunities, managing risk, and creating value through strategic development. Our expertise allows us to guide clients through the complexities of site acquisition through stabilization and final disposition ensuring that projects are not only architecturally compelling but also financially viable.
-
Our construction management team provides the crucial link between design and reality. We are committed to transparency, efficiency, and quality craftsmanship. By being involved from the project's inception, we can provide valuable input on constructability, cost, and schedule. We manage all aspects of the construction process, from subcontractor coordination and budget tracking to on-site supervision, ensuring that the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.
