Crafting custom design solutions for timeless architecture
Birdseye tailors each project to its specific client, site, and program requirements. Our work is rooted in the history and landscape of the region and often inspired by traditional compositions of agrarian farmyards and outbuildings. Through these connections, the architecture reflects an authenticity that speaks to both the past and present. Resilient, sustainable, and passive design solutions are thoughtfully integrated and executed as standard practice for each project.
Our design work continues to evolve through experimentation and refinement and helps to inform our projects in other typologies. We strive to seek out projects that challenge our understanding of scale, detail, region, and the needs of the users.
In the studio, we collaborate directly with the makers who bring our work to life, bridging the art of design and the craft of building. Our daily interaction strengthens our collective process and allows us to continually innovate.
Birdseye’s work can be found within Vermont, throughout the Northeast, and across the United States. Our projects have been recognized with international design awards, AIA honors, and print and digital publications. In 2024, Birdseye was named to Forbes’ America’s Top 200 Residential Architects List. We are proud participants in the European Cultural Centre's exhibitions at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2025 and 2018 and the Venice Art Biennale in 2024 and 2019.
