Design drives our firm.
At the foundation of our culture is a genuine respect and appreciation for architecture. We believe tenets such as function, aesthetic, innovation and critical thinking, central to the impact of architecture, equally serve the outcomes of design. It serves not only as the impetus for our firm’s formation, but as the central guide to our design and work culture.
We use many techniques to bolster the quality and efficacy of our design. But over the years a specific set has risen above the rest, making a notable difference in our day to day. Never the end goal, they are the daily challenge:
Staying curious incorporates each of our principles—it nurtures the imagination and expands the intellect. Discovering the “new” generates enthusiasm for each new challenge we take on.
Imagination requires fuel, so we feed ours with a steady diet of inspiring input — everything from creative and cultural team outings, to lively dialogue and explorations in the studio. That and a ton of caffeine.
Like imagination, intellect needs constant input. To support a culture of learning we strive to fill our days with opportunities to expand our knowledge – through iteration, innovation, and disruption.
They come in many forms, but they are almost always self-reinforcing. Maintaining patience expands our perspective and having perspective makes staying patient easier. Used together they create a truly positive place to work.
