Winder Architects

Description

profile The office is a laboratory for the investigation of forms, functions, materials and details. Projects are grounded in a strong working knowledge of conventional construction, but seek to transcend that base with new details and/or materials. Each project builds upon past experience, while striving towards new solutions, forms and experiences. Winder Gibson Architects (ne Winder Architects) was founded in 1989 in San Francisco. From the outset, the firm has pursued work in a variety of contexts, scales and programs. We work on projects in San Francisco, the Bay Area and beyond. We have the strong project-management, client and code skills needed to take our conceptual and design-oriented projects from idea to completion. We aim to both satisfy and surprise our clients with innovative solutions to both average and exceptional problems. We believe that design is important. We believe that design sells. We believe that design is worth pursuing. An ongoing part of our practice has been the design and implementation of large-scale public art projects, both in conjunction with artists and independently. Working with art on the scale of architecture informs the rest of our practice: residential, commercial and institutional. We understand that it takes more than good design to make a project happen. Working with small and large developers, we understand the business behind construction. Working with contractors, we understand how buildings actually get built. Working with clients, we understand the emotion and personal meaning that initiates every project. We are interested in real projects and making real buildings.
