Pugh + Scarpa Architects
Philosophy

Pugh + Scarpa is committed to producing work of exceptional rigor and architecture that expresses the highest aesthetic, environmental and social ideals. As a firm, we have consistently sought new and different design challenges and have resisted becoming excessively specialized in any particular building type. As a result, our innovative work ranges from designs for small objects, furniture and public art, to large-scale educational, civic and affordable housing buildings. We are also known for our experience in master planning and urban design. Approaching every project with fresh eyes, we produce design solutions that are unique and appropriately suited to client and context.

At Pugh + Scarpa our working method has always been highly intuitive and flexible - there are no rigid boundaries or pre-set formulas. Our interest is in producing meaningful work that is rooted in its context, both cultural and physical. We have developed a design process that focuses on the unique values of each client and the specific programmatic requirements and aesthetic opportunities of each project. We understand that the role of the architect is one often marked by conflict, contradiction, and change as projects evolve and respond to stakeholders' needs. Skilled at building dynamic rapport with our clients and user groups, we create inspiring and exceptionally functional buildings that fulfill their collective goals. Together with the stakeholders, we begin by exploring both the functional needs and the aesthetic goals of each project with no limiting preconceptions. This ensures that the final design emerges from the specific context and essential function of the project. Our ability to understand and interpret user needs and goals is evidenced in the positive relationships we have developed with our clients. We encourage you to contact any of our past clients, to better understand our methods and abilities.

At Pugh + Scarpa, each project is approached as the continuation of an ongoing inquiry. We have become specialists in finding creative and unique solutions to the most difficult budgets and programs. Careful consideration is given to the appropriateness of design choices in terms of context, program and construction. We are known as architects who link exceptional design with time and budget concerns, joined with a larger commitment to community and quality.

Our work is driven by the belief that architecture can have a transformative influence by providing an environment that engenders freedom of thought, creativity and curiosity; and as such, we believe in the possibility of creating architecture that itself becomes an instrument of the human experience. It is from these beliefs and values that we continually strive to deliver buildings that redefine the typology and establish new paradigms for each project we undertake. While we practice architecture with an extremely rigorous and exacting methodology, we remain open-minded, so that our work can adapt throughout the dynamic process of making places for people.

In our eyes, the quality of a project is not necessarily related to how much it costs, but rather how wisely the resources of time and money are spent. We firmly believe that design excellence can be achieved on any scale or budget; that economy and aesthetics are not mutually exclusive. Proper cost management and life cycle building cost is of great importance to us. Our design strategy is to seek simplicity, which results in flexibility in use and economy in cost. In everything we do, we are constantly aware of our responsibility to our clients, who rely on us to honor our commitments to budget, schedule, and quality of work.

Research of materials and technologies has lead us to new and innovative solutions while respecting tried and tested construction methods. This is true regardless of the scale, whether big or small, for public or private use, for rich or poor. Working closely with clients, users, industry and a network of consultants is an approach that has often led us to successfully reinvent established building types. Our attitude not only stresses the search for fundamental principles in architecture, such as light, volume and spatial flow, but also attempts to reveal extraordinary beauty within ordinary ideas and materials.

At Pugh + Scarpa, our design process particularly emphasizes the unique requirements and aesthetic opportunities of each project. From this perspective, the contextual issues of a given site often provide great opportunity to develop an architectural language that is layered and multivalent. We see a site's unique considerations as highly valuable, providing rich and diverse material to draw upon. The specific conditions of the multiple physical and cultural forces impacting the building-its embedment in the surrounding urban fabric, relationship to adjacent buildings, and proximity to community assets-help us develop a solution that contributes a distinctive sensibility to the environment.

As the design process begins, we focus on the unique attributes of and opportunities afforded by the site. We begin with an investigation of the site, surrounding buildings, existing building and structural system, attitudes and patterns of use, topographical surroundings, etc. While the programmatic aspects of the project are being defined, our designers begin their investigation of contextual issues, on both a micro and a macro level. These subjective contextual readings are balanced by combining the perspective of the "indigenous" client group and the "outsider" perspective of Pugh + Scarpa and our assembled team of consultants.

To locate an architecture, we typically operate on a question/answer paradigm in which the antecedents and precedents of initial answers are absorbed or challenged in order to identify the salient issues. The questions that will form the basis of our inquiry for the physical design of this project include: What is the relationship between the identity of the specific site and the larger cultural and social identity of the surrounding city? What are the sign systems at work that are taken for granted, overlooked and yet understood intuitively? As we examine and absorb the local idioms and syntax, the architectural language will become layered with meaning that is connected to its place and time, providing an armature for development.
