Ben’s experience spans a wide range of project types and scales, but there is a consistent focus on spatial experience, providing natural light where possible and exploring the character of a spaces. Ben conceptualizes the design in 3-dimensions through an inquisitive process of breaking down the big picture design intent into its individual components. It is through this thought process that technical architectural elements and building systems can be married seamlessly and be either concealed or celebrated. Open dialogue and exploration with the client, users, design team and contractor create a cohesive and thoughtful design while also giving ownership to all parties.

Ben received his Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Environmental Design from The University of Houston in 2008, but his fascination with the built environment started much earlier in life. Early childhood was filled with custom Lego and erector set creations and helping his father with woodworking projects in the garage. The desire to create hand crafted objects in his free time continues to this day designing/building custom furniture projects and building robotics with his two children. It is a strong belief that we can establish a stronger understanding of how to design by physically building things. The digital design process can be somewhat blinding in that it will show you what you want to see, but the physical design process can show you what can be.
