Our core values drive your project to distinction
|
| Our core values, centered on community, accuracy, artistry, and integrity, are woven into everything we do. |

When people connect…
Artistry: We understand the relationship between physical space and human perception—how space can foster or impede the way people interact, how it can facilitate or hamper a building’s very purpose. The art of designing built environments lies in aligning function with features to ensure a “just right” level of sophistication and performance matched to current needs while also laying the groundwork for future growth and adaptation. This is a fundamentally creative endeavor rooted in the knowledge that design choices matter. We seek an inspired balance of controllable elements to enable amazing possibilities.
Details matter…
Accuracy: Experience has shown us which details merit scrutiny and which just create noise. Understanding the difference has significant impact on project costs and how people experience the resulting space.

It takes a village…
Community: We recognize our role as a trusted partner in helping design partners and clients make informed decisions. We believe that success is best in the company of others. We gain fulfillment through contributing to the future and growth of our coworkers, design colleagues, clients, and end users.
Do what is right…
Integrity: Upholding our fiduciary responsibility in serving clients sometimes conflicts with what we believe is needed to allow a space to heighten the end-user experience. We help steward the process of overcoming difficult choices with knowledge and data that ultimately support project goals.
