Who We Are

Founded by Heather Faulding, Richard Dudzicki, and Kurt Krueger, 4Plus brings together diverse design perspectives with a shared commitment to excellence. We provide high-touch, principal-led design experiences that merge creativity, sustainability, and technical expertise. Our approach is collaborative and forward-thinking, ensuring every project is both visionary and deeply functional. We design with purpose—every space is a reflection of the people who inhabit it, tailored to enhance their experience and connection to the environment. From intimate residential spaces to large-scale commercial projects, our work is driven by innovation and a passion for crafting meaningful, lasting impressions. Always distinctive, always thoughtful.

Our Manifesto +

We believe great design goes beyond what meets the eye—it’s about what endures.

It’s the quiet confidence of a space that feels effortless, yet intentional.

It’s the seamless connection between structure and environment,

Where every element speaks of purpose

Without saying a word.


At 4Plus, we craft more than buildings—

We create architecture to inspire, engage, and endure.

Our work is bold yet deliberate,

Innovative yet precise.


And every project is a balance of creativity and strategy,

Designed to honor its environment

While embracing timeless principles.


Sustainability is the foundation of our vision.

Through Passivhaus and advanced retrofit standards,

We design spaces that are environmentally responsible.

By rethinking how buildings are created or renewed,

We integrate cutting-edge technologies to reduce carbon impact

While elevating performance and longevity.


We don’t follow trends—

We design for permanence.

Because true design isn’t about what surrounds you—it’s about what stays with you.
