We believe that Architecture is not as much about buildings, as it is about space, how the design of planes, surfaces, openings, pathways, and associated systems define and influence space, and the quality and character of the activities that occur about, upon, and within the field of that influence.
We believe that we have a responsibility to coexist with the patterns -- and limitations -- of nature. Environmentally-responsible design solutions are intrinsic to every project that we undertake, with an emphasis on appropriate, straightforward, low-cost, low-maintenance energy-efficient solutions.Since 1981 Wright and Hammer Architects has established a reputation as a creative, energetic Design Firm, dedicated to Community Architecture, and known for attention to detail throughout each phase of every project.

To us, the term Historic Architecture has broad meaning, covering everything from genuine Historic Preservation and Restoration, to continuum and evolution regarding how places are used and change relative to historical context and tradition. This involves everything from preserving places within a moment in time, to graceful and respectful adaptation and change.
Architectural Planning is a process through which we may assist our clients to define goals and visions, and map a logical, predictable, and sequential path to realization. The Planning process generally commences at the point of early, strategic concepts, and may progress through long-term, multi-phased development.
As practicing artists ourselves, we understand many of the needs and the workings of the art studio from the inside. Denise is an accomplished watercolor painter. Her painting "L.A., Dragon" was awarded First Place honors at the 2000 NMWS annual show. Jamo and Denise both draw in several media, including pencil, pen-and-ink, charcoal, conte, and silverpoint.
