A passion for the narratives of people’s lives and the role of buildings within those stories is what drives the design approach at John Grable Architects.. By building on existing traditions and historic vernacular, our work not only contributes to the continuum of the human experience, but also keeps the history of a place alive. Our designs resonate a quiet strength that results from a controlled hand and disciplined eye. We engage each project with an acute understanding of materials and their potential; striving to use each material – whether natural or man-made – in the best way possible, both in craft and detail and to re-use and recycle materials. Our work is enlivened by a creative blend of old materials often playfully adapted to new applications. By embracing time-tested building techniques that complement nature and taking care to rehabilitate materials whenever possible, our work is a joyous convergence of past and present.
