New Public Solar Powered Preschool: This environmentally conscious design incorporates sustainable building materials and a simple, safe structural system which complements the energy-efficient design. |

AXO Design Studio: Featuring a central sky-lit studio space and hidden conference room. Common materials, recycled objects, and the refinement of details reflect the design sensibilities of both client and architect. |

New Florida Residence: Responsive to the climate, private terraces provide protected outdoor spaces that step down to the water's edge. The design provides privacy from the street and openness to the water and views. |

450 Architects’ work is informed
by an environmentally conscious design approach, and by the desire
to successfully integrate disparate elements, ideas, and systems
into the final solution. Never just a school, or just a home,
each project is a complex and refined solution that embodies the
client’s objectives, community’s interests, and the
unique qualities of the site.
 450
Architects is a San Francisco based architecture firm established
by David Bushnell and Richard Lee Parker, A.I.A. The principals
began their design collaboration nearly twenty years ago. 450
Architects work reflects a continuity of ideas, attention to detail,
and dedication to the client that emanated from their long-term
professional partnership. The nature of their work is unique and
highly personal, and they strive for cost effective solutions.
They seek an architecture where all members of the design team are treated as equal and important to the final solution. The firm’s design process invites client participation and teamwork; indeed, the best projects arise from a spirited collaboration with all the groups or individuals involved in the project.
