OUR UNIQUE

Vision

Founded on the belief that architecture and design can be an exploration driven by purpose and desire, not ego and antiquated rules.

We are a team of architects and designers that believe great design can and should be accessible to everyone. We seek to create functional spaces that bring optimism and delight to its user. We honor color, texture, and asymmetry in our work and our strength lies in the relationships we develop with our clients, collaborators, and builders.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

a brief

History

You won’t find us wearing black turtlenecks and Corbusier glasses, but you will find yourself smiling and delighting in the ease of our spaces.

1990s

A teenage Emily Adams finds herself studying at Iowa State University and working for the Students Disability Coordinator. Her journalism degree earns her a spot at WOI-TV, the ABC News affiliate serving Ames and Des Moines, Iowa. These experiences teach her two things: That individuals have an incredible power to persevere through adversity, and that writing is not for her.

2000

Working as a Marketing Coordinator for a high technology consulting firm, Adams discovers that she loves architecture and interior design. She maneuvered herself into an interior design firm, EUA, (formerly Burkett Design) and enrolls full time in the Masters of Architecture program at University of Colorado Denver while continuing to work.

2011 - 2004

Seven years as an Architectural Designer at Anderson Mason Dale gives Adams the opportunity to collaborate on great projects as she gains essential experience in all facets of architecture and design. She leaves, knowing the desire to create a different path is stronger than the comfort of toeing the line.

2013

Adams establishes her own firm based on transparency, honesty, morality, and excellent design. Neoera is born.

2013 - Present

Adams wins her first bid two weeks after opening shop. Within two years, her work is in high demand, and she recognizes she cannot do everything herself. Enter Neoera’s first employee. Since then, the firm has been sought out for its unique approach, its dedication to craft and team, its openness to projects both big and small, and above all, for its desire to tell your story.

Emily earned her Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado Denver.
