Today is National Drawing Day. Here’s a selection of our architects’ sketches of recent projects.
Changes to the design process are coming faster and faster. Architects have been drawing by hand for ages, using computers for 30 years, and are starting to adopt AI.
Says Mark Asher, “I am old enough to draw, young enough to use a computer, and lucky to do both, as one informs the other.”

What defines this space as true indoor-outdoor living? A continuous material palette softens the boundary between inside and out, while the @nanawallsystems Cero system creates a seamless corner opening—framing serene views of the marsh at sunset.

Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco and his family of seven live in a serene, 10,000-square-foot residence in Haddonfield, designed as both a retreat and a hub for an active household. Sports take center stage, with indoor and outdoor courts, a pool, and a cabana complementing the family’s on-the-go lifestyle. Inside, the home leans into calm, with neutral tones, soft textures, and understated architectural details like a soaring, chapel-like primary suite. After years of constant movement, the property feels less like a stopover—and more like a true anchor.

Excited to share the design of this shingle-style home, coming soon to the Gardens neighborhood of Ocean City—a beloved corner of this coastal community.
Soft textures, coastal proportions, and layered detailing draw from the neighborhood’s traditions of classic shingle architecture, generous porches, and homes that prioritize light, air, and connection to the outdoors. A design that feels not only fitting but deeply rooted in its place.

What makes this sunroom so special?
It’s more than a place to take in the view—it’s designed to live in.
With folding glass doors and windows on three sides, this room effortlessly transforms into an open-air retreat, complete with retractable insect screens. Pocketing glass doors allow it to close off from the adjacent living room, tucking discreetly between back-to-back fireplaces.
Thoughtful planning = elevated everyday living, blurring the lines between indoors and out.
