FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our fees are determined on a project by project basis after evaluating a set of needs and requirements for our clients and the services that will best serve them.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our design process involves an open-ended dialog with our clients as we tailor the design to their unique set of needs, and the natural opportunities presented by their site. This is a collaborative process, and each project is a reflection of our clients’ input. Your ideas are an opportunity for us to discover the qualities that will elevate your project from commonplace to extraordinary and personal. We know that building a new dream house or renovating your existing home can be very exciting, and at times intimidating for you. We care deeply about bringing your design into reality, and work with contractors and tradespeople who are as committed as we are to the creation of beautiful and well-crafted spaces. We are professionals who specialize in guiding you through the myriad decisions you will encounter throughout the entire process until the moment you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the place of your dreams.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The firm's principal, Jonathan Chace, balanced his early career with work in firms at the forefront of design and with his personal research into the means and methods of construction. His education began at Washington University in St. Louis School of Architecture, at a time when the school was heavily influenced by the modern art and science of building. It was at this time that Chace started working in the field of construction and furniture production, apprenticing under craftsmen in the Rocky Mountains and New England. Chace later continued his education in New York City, attending the Columbia School of Architecture and Planning, which was pioneering highly conceptual digital architecture. While at Columbia, Chace was selected by the faculty to represent the school in the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Traveling Fellowship, a nationwide competition that Chace went on to compete as a finalist. Prior to founding Chace Architecture, Chace worked with the distinguished architecture firms of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Bernard Tschumi Architects and The Office of Peter Rose, and accumulated years of experience in the construction trades. His professional experience ranges in scale from large institutional buildings to smaller residential projects. Chace worked closely with Bernard Tschumi on the submission to several competitions, including the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh and the New Acropolis Museum, Athens. Also with Tschumi, he worked on the designs of the un-realized Museum for African Art in New York City, and the completed Vacheron-Constantin watch factory in Geneva, Switzerland. At The Office of Peter Rose, Chace served as the project architect and manager for the proposed design of the Milton Academy Science Building in Milton, Massachusetts and East House, a recently completed private residence on Martha's Vineyard.
