"The ability for a substance to be both modem and ancient, and not to require superficial overlays, brings a character to architecture that is pure and timeless. The material assimilates continuity of the ages ... designing in concrete comes from the psyche of an architect, giving form and presence to a place beyond merely forming shapes."
- David Rinehart, Principal

"The concrete forming process way of leaving an architectural message on a building. The qualities of the concrete, the form panels, their grouping, all record the technology and craft of the material, leaving an ornamentation to the building. The process becomes the final material - imparting value in the end."
- Tom Chessurn, Principal
