We at Whipple Russell Architects would like to pay our respects to Steve Jobs, the man and his work, and to express our affinity for his love of simple, elegant design.

We embrace his ideal - a unity of functionality and beauty; with neither sacrificed. In his world it was the user interface, in ours, it’s the client’s interaction with their living space. And in both, the details matter. Mr. Jobs believed that a thousand small choices build the whole. We say, the lives that occupy the work, inspire the body of the work.
