ABOUT
Joseph Conti, architect | envisioneer | founder
Our studio name was created to reflect the unique nature of our work and the zeal we share for creative endeavors. We serve as ‘envisioneers’, to explore new pathways to improve, inspire and enhance the quality of life. Our name tells a story about who we are and how we serve:
‘ARC’ is about the big picture of our work. We seek to create harmony for the entire project. We bring ‘Arc’ to the front, and define it in multifaceted ways: as a detailed measurement, structural integrity, a path of travel, overall excellence, a light, a written record, and a story structure. These are all important facets which reflect important details our work. We envision and develop a creative holistic approach which creates valuable places to live and work. Most importantly, we serve as trusted design professional to guide the project journey..
The next building block: ‘CASTLE’ serves as a metaphor for a creative work. The castle represents a unique and noble building type. Each castle represents a one of a kind creation for each site. A timeless design that harmonizes form, function and aesthetics in a profound manor. In addition, ‘strategic design’ is utilized to envision the entire project as a whole, with individual functions carefully designed to operate seamlessly. Perhaps most compelling, is the way each castle was created — through a dedicated collaboration that occurred among owner, architect, craftsmen, artist, builder, and people of the land.
The third building block represents the linchpin for our work. The ‘STUDIO’, which represents a collaborative effort. This is a creative endeavor that serves human beings. We function like a film studio in the way we direct the clients story, develop an objective truth, collaborate with owner and specialized teams, establish the scope, budget, and setting the creative direction. Although our work is not a movie, we direct the clients story through architecture both near and far.
My work builds upon a diverse breath of project experience, with a focus on custom residential, and prototype projects. (creative endeavors that seek to harmonize the entire project work and its context. Our mission is to serve human beings, and promote authentic and meaningful relationships. Producing a work that is Irreplaceable, not machine-like and never superficial,
