Ben thrives on "crafting buildings, creating refined and elegant solutions that are threaded throughout a project from overall concept to individual details."  His design approach is rooted in a research-based, multi-disciplinary approach with thoughtful consideration to context, history and climate—offering holistic design solutions.  Ben points to the visitor center he worked on at the Edsel Ford home as a good example. “The Edsel Ford Visitor Experience is a modern interpretation of a historic site. It met the challenge of maintaining the site’s historic character, while adding a zero-energy building that brings the organization into the 21st-century.”
