Publications
With Gathering, we wanted to develop a book that explores the collaborative, iterative process from which these spaces evolve and a book that celebrates our shared sense of community. The nature of people has always been a primary influence for our practice; how we move, touch, and see; our intellect, emotions, and dreams; and how we interact with one another.
Our current circumstances have rewritten those interactions for the moment, but we remain hopeful that we’ll rebuild and find the place for the surprise encounter and serendipitous connection that so delight and inspire us. We look forward to the day when we can gather together again. Until then, we invite you to dream with us about all the spectacular places waiting for us.

Listening: Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Houses 2009–2015
ORO Editions
We all harbor particular memories of houses we’ve encountered, moments and experiences that stay with us well past departure. Finding these nuances demands active listening—not just to the owner or client of the building, but to the site, the culture, the materials, and the house itself. This is exemplified in Listening, a profile of 12 houses designed by renowned architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.

Ledge House
Rockport Publishers
In this work, extremes, edges, and eccentricity combine to form an original, inspired whole. This is a moment at a clearing in the woods where stone meets log, idea meets reality, invention meets craft, function meets beauty, and the past meets the present," writes architect William Bruder in the introductory essay to Ledge House.
