Cade believes that people make the place. And the architecture we produce should convey the spirit of that place. It should have a positive impact on it's users and context and should have a clear connection to it'sfunction andthe needs of it's inhabitants. The design process should focus and prioritize the goals of the owner and be a representative of their guiding principles and ideals.

Through flexible and integrative design exercises, Cade seeks to translate those client goals into contextual, thoughtful, and responsive design solutions that capitalize on collaboration.
