Woven with our design work in 2012, we’re asking ourselves:

How can our work positively influence residential design, helping a wide spectrum of people live sustainably, with beauty, and deeply connected to community?

We’ve started the work in 2011, donating 2% of our income to these California and Maine organizations that emphasize food/community, art/community, and housing/community:

	Edible Schoolyard (www.edibleschoolyard.org) Maine Farmland Trust (www.mainefarmlandtrust.org)
	Inner City Arts (www.inner-cityarts.org) Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (www.haystack-mtn.org)
	Habitat for Humanity, Greater Los Angeles (www.habitatla.org) Habitat for Humanity, Midcoast Maine (www.midcoasthabitat.org)

Watch for us this year as we explore these issues in our work and in a series of lunches at our studios in California and Maine.  We hope you’ll be a part of the conversation.
