John Hrivnak Talks The ABC's of Architecture

Our Architectural practice is about you - and like a priceless gem, you have many facets. It is our desire to get to know you, your needs and bring together all of the elements that go into creating memorable, responsive Architecture. You have aesthetic tastes. You have financial parameters. You have various functional needs. You have a unique site or existing structure. Bringing all of that together is much like composing a symphony - there are lots of instruments that, if brought together well, create emotional responses. Goethe says, "Architecture is frozen music". We endeavor to bring all of the facets from sculpture, form and structure to energy conservation and function into an alignment that is "just right" for your unique needs. 

We are not designing for awards from other architects (although we have some). We are not designing for ourselves (although in process of designing our next home). We won't live in your home or building - you will. Thus, part of our philosophy is to set aside our ego (architects have those - they went into a profession that creates monuments to themselves) - which comes with maturity - and focusing on you and your needs.
