Louis Kahn, “I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and materials as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.” AB design studio’s award-winning contemporary homes blend light and shadow to create unique and conceptually stunning environments for living. Every home is a unique solution for its intended inhabitants - livable and stylistic elegance.

Traditional residential design is based in a richness of authenticity and craft. Each vernacular requires its own degree of sensitivity; we strive to define each particular design opportunity with respect to a given regional or historical identity. Our traditional residential design provides a careful hand crafted balance between the needs of modern living and a well-articulated traditional home.

Multifamily and Mixed-Use Housing projects are a unique opportunity and a challenge that we embrace. We start by asking how a housing project might embrace its neighborhood and contribute to a positive community impact? People need high-quality well-designed housing. Families need enriching and productive environments that connect households, neighbors and neighborhoods. We work with developers, housing authorities and owners to envision projects that increase density while cultivating community. This is a time of multifamily-housing innovation. Good design solves big problems.
