Guiding Principles
In our desire to create a home that fits you, your taste, and your budget, understanding the resources the journey requires is as important as knowing the route to follow. To reach our goal of creating a great home for you, we rely on five essential resources. With each of these resources we develop a guiding relationship.
WE MANAGE THE TEAM
At the core are members of Wolfworks project and management teams, all dedicated and experienced. This includes the designers and builders who work together at Wolfworks to plan and build your project, as well as those who support those efforts in management and administration. An essential extension of this team are our project partners, the product vendors and trade subcontractors whe we work with again and again. These are the people with whom we communicate easily and can depend upon with confidence. Our job is to manage this team.
WE GUIDE OUR CLIENT
Every great project is the result of the commtted participation of a good client. We want every client to fulfill that role. A project will demand your time and attention, your financial resources, and ultimately some disruption to your life, all in the interest of making your good home great. These commitments require your dedication. Out intention is to cultivate and guide these essential contributions to the project.
WE RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT
We rely on building materials and energy to create a project. Our choices should be guided in part by the opportunity to use materials and energy wisely. This means seeking solutions that make the best use of available space before constructing additional space. It means striving to use energy efficient equipment and construction strategies. It means seeking materials that are durable, safe, and resource efficient . We expect to respect what we use.
WE DISCOVER IDEAS
Imagination is perhaps our most important resource. In every project we are hoping to discover a set of ideas that will provide the opportunity to make a good home great. We seek ideas about how to use and shape space. We seek ideas that make the best use of our resources, both financial and material. The ideas are ours and the ideas are yours: we seek to make the best use of our combined talents. Along every step of our journey we are joining our imaginations to fulfill the project's potential.
WE LISTEN TO THE HOUSE
The solutions to nearly all our problems are revealed by paying careful attention to what exists. The light and the views are there waiting. The functional needs and traffic flows dictate what each space must provide. The existing architectural detail, or its lack, suggest stylistic directions and opportunities. In places the house gives; in others it resists. We choose what to fight for. By studying all this carefully, patterns and a plan emerge. If we listen very carefully, the house will tell us what it want to be when it grows up!
