About the practice
Independent architecture and design, led by Adam Hunkapiller
I run an independent architecture and design practice, working across buildings, interiors, and the details that connect them. Each commission begins with close attention to the site, its light, and its existing character.
My work is guided by proportion, natural materials, and buildings that sit comfortably within their surroundings. I aim for clarity in both the drawings and the finished spaces.
How I work
A methodical path from site to construction
01
Site analysis
I evaluate the site, its context, orientation, and constraints before any design decisions are made.
02
Schematic design
Early studies test massing, spatial organization, and the relationship between interior and exterior.
03
Technical development
Drawings and specifications are refined into precise documentation covering materials, assemblies, and detailing.
04
Construction review
I stay involved during construction to confirm that the built work follows the intent of the design.
Guiding principle
Buildings should be made to last and to belong to their place; form follows context, and enduring construction follows from honest materials.— Adam Hunkapiller
