Whipple Russell Architects

Since 1985, we have enjoyed continued success creating architecture inspired by the people who work, live and play in our environments.rnrnDuring every phase of a project we ask ourselves these five questions:rnrn> have we listened deeply to our clients?rnrn> have we drawn from our breadth of experience?rnrn> have we distilled the design to its most simple, appropriate form?rnrn> have our plans and systems provided clarity and peace of mind for our clients?rnrn> are we exceeding expectations?rnrnWe believe it is our commitment to achieving a resounding ‘yes’ to each of these questions which has generated Whipple Russell's long list of diverse and satisfied clients.rnrnWhether a project encompasses the remodeling of one room or the ground-up design of a large building, it is Whipple Russell's standard practice to generate a 3D model going one step further to ensure their clients accurately envision their projects before construction begins. This clear understanding of what is being designed, and at what cost, and in what time frame, eliminates much of the anxiety typical of envisioning and then building something – this peace of mind allows Whipple Russell's clients to truly share in Marc’s excitement for the creative process.rnrnrnThough each design is necessarily unique, all are infused with drama, with certain elements of the building evoking awe in owners and their guests at each arrival. Achieved in various ways, the addition of drama creates a place where people long to be. Incorporating water into the design for example, or varying the spatial volume, elicits emotional responses, wowing those who experience the effect. This evocative touch woven into the West Coast Lifestyle has grown a roster of properties with exceptional attributes and enhanced property values; hillside homes with city, ocean and canyon views; indoor/outdoor live and work spaces; pools and hardscapes; multi-family and lofts; hotels and hospitality, museums and exhibits; and of course, California GreenPoint Rated and LEED standards.rnrnrnGuaranteeing that clients are passionately pleased with the final results and the process along the way is Marc’s ultimate. Indeed, Marc created a six-point checklist, which clearly outlines the firm’s efforts to provide a superior experience and product. For each project, Marc and his team ask themselves the following:rnrnrnHave we listened deeply to our clients?rnrnHave we drawn from our breadth of experience?rnrnHave we distilled the design to its most simple, appropriate form?rnrnHave our plans and systems provided clarity and peace of mind for our clients?rnrnAre we exceeding expectations?rnrnrnWhen the team can confidently answer each with a resounding “yes”, Whipple Russell Architects has done its job.
