Crafting custom design solutions for timeless architecture
Birdseye tailors each project to its specific client, site, and program requirements. The work is rooted in the history and landscape of the region and often inspired by traditional compositions of agrarian farmyards and outbuildings. Through these connections, the architecture reflects an authenticity that speaks to both the past and present. Resilient, sustainable, and passive design solutions are thoughtfully integrated and executed as standard practice for each project.
Our residential design work continues to evolve through experimentation and refinement and helps to inform our projects in other typologies. We strive to seek out projects that uniquely challenge our understanding of scale, detail, region, and the needs of the users.
Our studio experience is uniquely positioned to foster direct collaboration with the makers who create our designs. This daily interaction bridges the craft of building with the art of design, strengthening our collective process and allowing us to continuously innovate.
Birdseye supports the practice and profession of architecture through our mentoring, licensing program, and professional development guidance. We are advocates and members of the American Institute of Architects. Our studio principal and founder, Brian J. Mac, is a Fellow in the AIA.
