BIG RIPPLES Magic in architecture often occurs when the client presents the architect with clear criteria and formidable challenges and when, rather than engineer around obstacles, the designer embraces the challenges as opportunities to enrich the project.

The result is a building that meets the client's needs with stellar design and an anticipated LEED-Gold rating.
