BAD studio

We’ve created a coloring book as a community engagement tool to help shape a masterplan for the Roseville neighborhood with a special focus on Orange Street.

This is your street, your stories, your future. If you’d like to be part of re‑imagining what Orange Street can become, shoot us a message and we’ll share how to get involved.

Let’s build it together.

We love this photo of Brendan and his family for many reasons.

We are very selective about the clients we take because our process is intimate and deeply collaborative. It requires getting to know a family beyond square footage and finishes. The first day Brendan walked into our office, the conversation quickly shifted from architecture to principles and values. After this discussion we know whether someone is a fit or not. Our clients become family by the end, so alignment at the beginning matters. With Brendan, we felt that alignment immediately.

Up to this very point life happened. His family grew. The project needed to pause. We had to change change General contractors because of timing… Through all of it, we stayed grounded in our intentional process. The same process we never budge on. Brendan will tell you himself. He can be very indecisive and prone to wild impulses sometimes. We admire his tenacity, but we always stay professional, steady, and committed to due process.

We truly love what we do and that is never misunderstood. Design is alive. Priorities evolve, taste changes, and unexpected site conditions show up uninvited. Brendan consistently makes decisions that are centered around his family, and we value that deeply. We believe in building the vision all the way to the end. It’s one of the reasons we stay with our projects through construction.

If Brendan hadn’t been the right fit, we would have walked away or recommended someone else. Even when he drives us a little crazy, our values are always aligned.

Before we accept any client, we ask ourselves two questions

Do we share values?
Can we communicate honestly?

With Brendan, the answer was yes.

Foundation done! let’s build this dream

FYI he called us yesterday to tell us we are changing the design on the exterior lol. Let’s see where this goes.
