Established in 2006, Stonorov Workshop Architects was founded on the belief that good design makes life better.  We use sustainable materials and methods in honest and simple expressions to create warm, kind, and tough modern works.

Fundamental to our process is the belief that making and designing are intrinsic to each other.  Knowledge of one strengthens and informs the expression of the other.  We build many of our own projects and incorporate this experience into all of our designs.  We enjoy the hard work and considered details we know good outcomes require.   

Our designs are developed with careful consideration of our client’s needs, a rigorous study of site and an open and involved creative process tempered by ecological sensibility.

ABOUT

Stonorov Workshop Architects is a small firm with big ideals.  When you work with us you will interact directly with one of the founding members.  We get our hands dirty, use tools, and make what we’ve talked about.  We’re scrappy and refined.  We think the inside of a project is as important than the outside, that function is more important than looks, but we know that all of these things, and a whole lot more, matter and must be addressed.  Environmental considerations and a focus on local materials are implicit.  We start with what resonates and the rest follows.
