Along with the philosophies that “a project can only be as good as the information gathered,” and “behind every well-designed building is an architect who took the time to thoroughly understand the client’s needs,” Herman Orcutt and Paul Winslow began building client-focused design teams that could offer personal service during each stage of the architectural process.

Our experience includes advisory and underwriting as sole, senior, or co-senior underwriter on district transactions for K-12 (public and private).
