Cutler Anderson

The work of James Cutler and Bruce Anderson of Cutler Anderson Architects, reveals a unique approach to sustainable architecture by encouraging environmental stewardship through design that heightens the experience of the natural world. Each project begins with a careful and sensitive investigation of place and materials and culminates in a well-crafted building that fits seamlessly into the landscape. Detailing plays an essential role by heightening an awareness of materials and, by extension, nature. Whether heavy-timber framing, stone or steel-and-glass, the work is thoroughly modern in its disciplined plans, spatial qualities, and emphasis on transparency to connect people to a place. This comprehensive monograph examines Cutler Anderson's practice as it expands beyond their widely admired houses to include branch libraries, civic buildings, and national memorials. Today, Cutler Anderson buildings' extend through the entire Unites States, and internationally in Russia, Spain, Australia, and Costa Rica.
