Sonya Hardwick
Founder and principal
Leads design and every architect meeting. Reads each drawing set before it goes out.
About
A small mechanical studio in the valley.
Sonya Hardwick started the studio to do one thing: draw a house's mechanical systems as carefully as the architect draws its walls, then build them with the same people who drew them.
There are twelve of us: designers, pipefitters and technicians, and the office. Each project has a design lead, a field superintendent and a controls lead from start to finish, so the person who answers your question was in the room when the decision was made.
We work in the Roaring Fork Valley and take only as many projects as we can draw and supervise properly. That is why we start with the drawings, and why we ask to start early.
