architecture construction fabrication We see life as an act of great potential. Through architecture and art, it is possible to create spaces that can add a sense of graciousness to everyday life, to create certain moments of wonder or joy that reveal a silence amidst all the noise. Through this exploratory process, we challenge values, seek the virtuous, and engage the senses to the environment around us. We measure the integrity of our work by the quiet pleasures and experiences that are enjoyed by all those who encounter it. contact DUST: [email protected] www.dustdb.com

An off-the-grid refuge made from volcanic cinder blends into its remote Western setting.

We are humbled once again at the nod.  Many thanks to the crew, client, Jeff Goldberg and the folks at ESTO, and to Architectural Record for the feature.

check out this film Jay Ritchey did for us on our recently completed project Casa Caldera.  Music by our longtime collaborator and spiritworld dweller Caleb Coy /Headdress

Fortunate and gratefull to have these humans in the conversation.

Jay, I have to say, is an all-around-bad-ass.  Along with working along side of us from footers to the finishes, pushing a wheel barrow, swinging a hammer, making sure coffee was made, making sure tecate was not wasted, capturing video (to make this and other bad ass films), providing moral support when shit got rough...all this in his spare time!  I’m not sure this video could’ve been any sweeter....
