Petit is an integrated architectural design and planning firm. We were founded with the simple idea of making engaging architecture accessible to more people.

Working across the disciplines of architecture, art and engineering, our projects are a collaborative effort between designers and craftsmen. Together, we work to create spaces that make people feel as though they are one with their environment. From wide open vistas to dense urban spaces, we work to naturally interlace our designs into each building site.

The Petit team is made up of progressive systems thinkers who help to create healthy and beautiful spaces that reduce carbon footprints and bring joy to those who interact with them. With a belief that less is more, Petit often utilizes regional materials leading to sustainable and affordable results. Innovative thinking results in simple solutions to complex challenges.

AN INTEGRATED TEAM

For our clients who prefer it, Petit can both design and manage building projects. Each person on the core Petit team is educated in architecture and has solid construction experience. This creates nimble and seamless management across all phases of the project, eliminating overlapping costs and providing one point of contact for the client, ensuring a smooth, consolidated process from start to finish.

An economical APPROACH

We tend to focus on efficient space planning and passive temperature control, allowing a higher number of clients to benefit from our services through reduced building costs. Every design location has its challenges, but through meticulous planning, minimal site disturbance and a less is more mentality, we are able to create unique and affordable designs for our clients that bring them closer to nature.

THE un-ART OF ARCHITECTURE

Art-making is key to the architecture work of Petit. We work from the belief that creativity is a central and necessary tool to transform any site.

budget / material availability / environmental impact / climate / security concerns — this is where a project takes shape. At the junction of these constraints is where our designs flourish.
