WE ARE ARCHITECTS WHO…

SOLVE PROBLEMS

We think of design as radically pragmatic problem solving, where asking the right questions is as important as finding answers. Design problems are multifaceted – and we think that’s a good thing. We see the many constraints on design imposed by a project’s surroundings and stakeholders as productive drivers of innovation. 

RELY ON INNOVATION

Big ideas and real-world constraints live side-by-side in our building and research projects. We are interested in working within the spaces and architectural programs of daily life, carefully examining projects large and small to find value in unexpected places.

CHOOSE DESIGN OVER STYLE

We develop approaches that are flexible and strategic rather than static and prescriptive. We balance constraints on site, program, and construction with client requirements, budget, regulatory controls, market-drivers, and community input to develop fresh designs for the future city.
