Our Values

Ettedgui—Dolick, PLLC is drawn to projects that drive meaningful change toward environmental stewardship by assembling healthy materials and adaptively reusing existing buildings and infrastructure.

Our Vision

To connect architecture with its social, cultural, and historical context, we aim to supplant generic construction methods that rely heavily on raw material extraction and landfill disposal. In their place, we advocate for more tailored, circular processes that strategically harvest, repurpose, and extend the lifespan of existing buildings and components.

Our Approach

From conception to completion, we see ourselves as both creators and critics of the built environment. We approach impositions as an opportunity rather than a constraint. Through careful listening and editing, we embrace design as a collaborative process to challenge conventions and avoid simplistic solutions.

Our Logo

The emdash (—) is a structural element inserted into a narrative that acts like a bridge, connecting one idea to the next. It offers a change of pace, a space for elaboration, and an additional layer of meaning. At the same time, the emdash is by definition incomplete; it is both bound to and characterized by its context.
