Your constraints guide the vision.
From planning to construction, your goals and challenges define how we work.
Collaboration:
You have a desired outcome, schedule, and budget. Roadside Bonsai Architecture starts with early collaboration with builders, engineers, interior designers, and jurisdictions and designs for constructability within your budget.
Customer Service:
The design process can be confusing and frustrating for clients. Roadside Bonsai Architecture seeks to make it as streamlined as possible for you. Outstanding service is the priority.
Coordination:
Drawing on two decades of experience, Roadside Bonsai Architecture understands the importance of coordination with stakeholders to get projects done.

Constraint-Based Design:
Every project has its own unique set of constraints. Roadside Bonsai Architecture uses your project’s constraints as the guidelines for producing a specific solution. The more difficult the constraint is to address, the more creative the solution often becomes. Budgets are often one of the most challenging aspects of any project. Roadside Bonsai Architecture strives to work closely with consultants and contractors to keep your project on budget.
Cutting-Edge Tools
Revit is the industry standard for building information modeling (BIM) and documentation. Roadside Bonsai Architecture uses the latest version to stay compatible with the broader design and construction industry.
Visualizations utilize the latest version of Enscape, a real-time rendering tool. With this software, Roadside Bonsai Architecture can rapidly produce still images, “walk” or “fly” through models, or even view the models in virtual reality. This gives you a sense of the space before any construction begins.
Drawing on experience and passion going back to architecture school days, Roadside Bonsai Architecture can use a combination of scripting and 3D modeling to produce complex forms, and then use those forms to make physical models with CNC tools. Small-scale in-house capabilities including a small CNC router, laser cutter, and 3D printer.
Design, Documentation, and Presentation Tools:
Freeform 3D modeling: Rhinoceros 3D
Scripting and parametric/generative tools: Grasshopper, Python, Visual Basic
BIM and documentation: Revit
Real-time rendering (VR capable): Enscape
Tenacity
The design and construction industry rarely moves in a smooth, linear progression. Since the success of Roadside Bonsai Architecture depends on the success of your project, there is a tenacity in the dedication to getting the job done right.
