The chief aim of alchemy - a pseudo-science practiced in the Middle Ages - was to turn base metals into gold. As modern-day architects/alchemists, we embrace the ordinary programs, left-over sites and modest construction budgets of our practice and seek to extract extraordinary and memorable results.
Choreography involves planning arranged movement through space. We arrange paths of movement through sequential or serial space to enhance the experience of occupation. We favor mystery over expediency, preferring discovery through visual contrast, tactility, sound, and temperature. We find that buildings that respond to climate are both an environmental benefit and a more uplifting place to inhabit.
We employ simple, time-honored techniques that reduce energy consumption and connect people to the natural phenomena of their place. We strive to create buildings and public spaces that transcend program to provide comfortable places to live ones life. Ideally, our buildings anticipate and accommodate change, reuse, and adaptation.

Not a good place to work. Unfair and dishonest. Almost everyone there is new because everyone has left, including the office manager. The 2 favorites are still there and have been promoted to principal. Really happy I don’t work there anymore. I don't have to beg for a raise at my new job and I feel appreciated. The poorly designed apartments on 30th & Broadway were designed by this firm but they don't want you to know that. They had pictures of the project on their website but they've been removed. Hope this review helps. God bless!
