We are a design-oriented firm that sees architecture as both a service and an art. The central tenet of our work is crafting sustainable, humanistic places in stewardship of our public realm; it is a philosophy we have studied and developed through our planning and design projects in urban environs for more many years.

The firm currently employs an architectural staff of 40 people, including 7 LEED Accredited Professionals.

In architecture as well as planning, the firm believes in crafting places for people through careful attention to questions of scale, materials, and detail, while remaining consistent with the needs of the client, the inherent nature of the site, and appropriate architectural themes.

Our firm has developed significant experience on a broad and diverse body of project types including civic, institutional, cultural, commercial, residential, educational, sports, healthcare, and planning projects. We enjoy the challenges and unique issues each project type presents and we believe good design transcends typology. We are committed to creating singularly unique solutions for each of our projects; a commitment that we believe provides significant value to the process and, ultimately, to our clients.
