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 provide a pathway to freedom and new realms that enhance the quality of our clients life. Our name reflects a story about who we are:
‘ARC’ denotes an all encompassing big picture or story arc about creating value, and harmonizing the entire project as a seamless entity. We define ‘Arc’ in the following multifaceted ways: a light, a bridge or connection, detailed measurement, structural integrity, authentic, unique journey, a special path, written record, and a story structure. Each of these descriptors represents building blocks of our work. We envision and develop a design that moves well beyond the artificial. We also serve as a trusted design professional to guide the full arc of the project journey.
The next building block: ‘CASTLE’ serves as a metaphor, reflecting a cohesive design. The castle simply represents one of the more unique and noble building types in all architecture. Interestingly, each castle represents a one of a kind creation. A timeless design that harmonizes form, function and aesthetics in complete harmony. The castle also reflects a thoughtful strategic design; uniting the entire project. Perhaps most compelling, is found in the way each castle was created. Through thoughtful collaboration among owner, architect, craftsmen, artist, builder, and those who lived on the land.
The third building block represents the linchpin of our work. The ‘STUDIO’, serves as an experienced guide. This represents a creative journey towards discovery, and one that serves human beings. Our studio represents a unique collaboration with many stakeholders. The studio seeks to provide options over the status quo, and always seeking an objective truth, The studio serves both near and far, throughout the realm.
Our mission is to serve those who dare to think and produce a work that is irreplaceable, not machine-like, nor superficial but completely unique and human,
