What is Relics Design?

Relics was structurally founded in idealism, that we can create the idyllic world we want with small steps. A concise summary of those ideals might read as follows:

​​

• Honoring history, community, and culture, and incorporating traditional practices with new, innovative methods is how we reach symbiosis with our land and neighbors. 

• There is more power in client/designer/contractor collaboration than in a top-down power structure. 

• Housing is a human right and can be equitably divvied when develops stop putting profit before people. 

• Utilizing the Circular Economy in every-day practice reaches more sustainability goals than energy sourcing does.

• Permaculture, watershed restoration, and habitat reclamation techniques can be used in almost every project - we call these "Microhabitats" for every property we analyze.

• The built environment directly impacts the natural environment, and it's our responsibility to minimize that impact and bolster Nature however we can with whatever we build while still pursuing the aesthetics a client may prefer. 

• The relationship between stakeholders involving Trust and Risk Management + Planning will subsume all design projects, whether its residential, commercial, industrial, or natural. 
   

Wholistic sustainability, color theory + psychology, and long-term planning are funneled into every conceptual design using a process of engagement, thorough analysis, and personalization in all scales of design.
