The studio name reflects a story that is built upon many years of diverse project experiences, and the belief that architecture plays a vital part in supporting a culture of excellence, shaping us, and advancing a change beyond the status quo.
The first part of our name: ‘ARC’ denotes an overall big picture approach we take. ‘In addition, Arc’ has a multifaceted meaning to us, such as: architecture, detailed degree of measurement, light, path of travel, unique responsibility, overall ‘arc of life’, written record, a significant achievement, and a development of a story structure. ‘Arc’ reflects a foundational building block in our philosophic and the holistic approach we take.
The next building block of our company name: ‘CASTLE’; serves as a metaphor, that has represented one of the more noble and creative works in all of architecture. It represents an extraordinarily unique building type, unlike anything of its day, nor anything like it since. In addition, the noble design evolved over a millennium, And each castle is authentic, truly one-of-a-kind. The castle also represents a deliberate and careful collaboration among the entire team.
The latter part of our name serve’s as a linchpin for our work; ‘STUDIO’; a creative generator; and light tower that serves the client. The ‘studio’ represents a working laboratory for aligning the art with the science of architecture. A place for exploration, and discovery. Seeking to improve, and support a culture of excellence. This is a collaborative process which becomes multifaceted in providing valuable services. The overall Arc of the studio is that we serve as envisioner’s, showing whats possible, seeking to beautify and make our clients dreams a reality.
