The firm

YAA is a firm founded on the fundamental principle that the greatest contribution of architecture is to strengthen and vitalize our communities. We believe that architecture, the natural landscape and a building’s context, both in environment and history, are seamlessly connected.

Our ability to discover inherent order among these complex components enables us to create projects tailored to their unique environments for our clients. Our process is not formed by any one style or predetermined formula, but rather strives to create architecture that is inventive yet timeless.

Both principals are personally involved in every project to contribute their individual strengths and expertise. Each project begins with a collaborative approach, which engages the client in an integrated design process from the initial concept through the project’s completion.

We continue this approach in a project’s execution as we endeavor to translate concept into the craft of construction. Our goal is to create projects with truly inspired designs
