Busy Summer
It’s been a busy year so far working multiple projects through design and permitting, but that’s starting to bear fruit in some very exciting ways!
In July we broke ground on a strawbale ADU (in the front setback!) in Walnut Creek. Really pleased with the way the final material palette has turned out as we wrap up the “For Construction” drawings. Much more coming soon!
Soil Heath and Zero Foodprint
We have been very busy lately, but I couldn’t let June pass without pausing to reflect on our first official year in business. In celebration of that milestone Knowles Architect Inc contributed 1% of our first year’s revenue to Zero Foodprint and committed to contribute 1% of future revenue to provide grants directly to farmers and ranchers ready to make changes to their land designed to pull carbon out of the atmosphere and re-store it underground as healthy soil.
Let’s reach for something better
I’ve had this symbol in my head for years. A “K” that represents a building’s relationship to the ground, its environment, and the sky. A logo that started out as a furniture-maker’s mark. One that could be made with three strikes of a chisel, like a rune.
