Organic Architecture

Organic Architecture describes a way of thinking about architecture and design that transcends the common buildings around us. It is an approach used to solve design problems in which new solutions are created based on the location and special conditions of each project. In other words, we believe a building should be a product of its place and time, intimately connected to a particular moment and a certain site, never the result of an imposed style.

“So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture…
not cherishing any preconceived form fixing upon us either past, present or future,
but instead exalting the simple laws of common sense…”
-Frank Lloyd Wright, Organic Architect, 1939

Frank Lloyd Wright introduced the word ‘organic’ into the philosophy of architecture as early as 1908. Although his mentor’s slogan “form follows function” became the mantra of modern architecture, Wright believed the phrase was more correctly stated, “form and function are one.”

Alex Riley Associates believes there is something important about having a design that is in harmony with its environment, and Alex Riley and his team of Napa architects are committed to doing so for each and every one of their projects. Your design will be modeled by keeping things like natural elements, sunlight and the variety of the four different seasons in mind throughout the entire design process.

After we locate your perfect location, Alex Riley and other Napa architects will go over the place searching for problems and offering their solutions. They will also get any extra information and permits needed in order to build your new home or building there; and these are just some of the ways we make the process of building for you a thorough and seamless transition.
