Community and Scale
We believe that much of the happiness we experience in our homes comes from loving our neighbors and the community we live in. While our homes stay the same, our family size and how we would like our house to function often change. To meet the needs of growing families or changing desires, it is important to take stock of what we have, how we live, and what we can modify to help our home fit these changes. Davis and Davis focuses on how to make existing spaces work better and how to add space to a property while respecting the context of the existing homes and neighborhood around us.
Quality Over Quantity
We believe that the amount of comfort a home provides is not always proportional to its size. While increasing the size of a house is sometimes needed, every space has a tipping point where a further increase in size reduces its’ quality and sense of scale. Quality materials, use of light, and smart use of spaces go a lot further in creating tranquility than a bigger footprint.
Utilizing Exterior Space
Connecting to the outdoors through views and access not only allows us to enjoy the beauty of an outdoor "room" but creates a much more visually pleasing space. We believe that connections to the outdoors that fit the flow and function of a home are critically important to how our homes work for us.
