A.M.D.G.
What is A.M.D.G.?
And why is it written on the top right hand corner of our documents? A.M.D.G. is Latin for “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” — translated into English as “For the Greater Glory of God.” As professionals, this isn’t a political or cultural statement. It’s much simpler. It is a reminder of why we do what we do, and what is really important in our lives and our work.

Brookstone Amenity Center
The Brookstone Amenity Center in northeast San Antonio, Texas consists of three interconnected buildings unified by a grand, shared exterior porch. This three-building complex contains the community management offices, a fitness center, and various communal spaces. The architecture features decorative wood framing around the porches, as well as high ceilings in the main buildings supported by timber framing.
The Design
The project's strategic use of stone and wood elements seamlessly blends the building into its natural surroundings. Exposed wood trusses create an open, high-ceilinged interior. Overall, the new amenity center will elevate the community by consolidating all desired amenities under a single roof.
