our approach

We create sustainable, equitable, and community-centered architecture.

We build strong partnerships to make human-centered environments that uplift and sustain communities of all sizes.

Our Approach:

• We ensure your projects meet the highest performance standards. Our deep expertise in Passive House concepts, modular construction, deep energy retrofits, navigating Local Law compliance, and building low-carbon buildings ensure your projects offer significant long-term savings and environmental benefits.

• We are nimble in navigating cost challenges. Our record of securing government incentives allow us deliver high-quality, sustainable solutions within your budgetary constraints.

• We engage deeply with our projects. We immerse ourselves into each project with an obsessive level of detail to ensure design excellence and exceptional execution.

• We communicate clearly and effectively. We excel in translating complex energy and design solutions into accessible language for all stakeholders—including  community boards, landmarks, and residents—throughout the project.

• We design for the future. Our designs consider long-term impacts on owners, managers, and the community.

• We create elegant, functional, and contextual solutions. Our designs reflect community needs, engage and delight users, and stand as a source of pride for the community and the city.

• We stay curious. We are committed to architectural innovation, constantly learning and sharing new ways to become better design stewards through research, community engagement, and public presentations.

Our work is driven by the need to create impactful change. Ever mindful of our carbon footprint and capacity for real social good, we design solutions made for people to live, work, and thrive in dynamic and inspiring places.
