Faulkner Architects

Faulkner Architects develops architecture with residential references exploring relationships between construction, topography, and landscape. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

Its presentation includes projects such as Pine Flat, Red Rock, and CAMPout. Published offices in San Francisco, Truckee, and Denver identify contact points for discussing assignments within different urban and mountain contexts. Reviewing references by program and context helps identify which aspects of the practice can respond to the priorities of a particular assignment and its intended users. Scope is defined according to property conditions, client priorities, and the stages of involvement agreed for the particular project and its specific requirements.

This profile can assist owners, institutions, and developers comparing design practices. An initial discussion becomes more useful when it includes activity requirements, site or property conditions, and priorities for use, allowing responsibilities and deliverables to be defined clearly for the particular assignment under consideration.
