Approach

Our approach emphasizes working collaboratively with our clients, teamwork, and communication so that together, we can create spaces that tell your story, fit the culture and context of each location, and connect people to place.

One

Starting the Conversation

Guided by our tailored and collaborative approach, we start by delving into what makes your organization tick: the ethos of your brand, the people who will experience it, and your vision for the project. We explore each opportunity to its full potential so that we can deliver a space that tells your story.

Two

Seeking Inspiration

Creating an authentic sense of place is incredibly important to us. This means getting to know the local people, its history, and its culture so that we can create a space that elevates the human experience and strengthens the spirit of community. Every place has a story and our purpose is to help tell it.

Three

Creating a Vision

Good ideas come from teamwork. So armed with our site-specific research, our visioning workshops are where we bounce around ideas, challenge each other and share honest opinions until a common vision emerges and we come to the best design solution for your project.

Visiting the Site

With an established vision, an understanding of the site, and some defined sources of inspiration, we pick up our pencils and get to work drafting a series of initial concept sketches, exploring a range of possible designs.

Refining the concept

Guiding Through Construction

One of our greatest strengths is the ability to translate your vision, brand, and culture into a design that tells your story. Every project has its challenges, but no matter the journey, we never lose sight of the ultimate goal.

After six decades of guiding projects from concept through to completion, we know how crucial expertly executed construction documents are to the success of a project. Whether we’re providing full architectural services or teaming with an architect-of-record halfway around the world, we know what it takes to bring a project across the finish line.
