Civic buildings have the potential to achieve the highest aims of architecture: to serve a community, to provide a public good, and to express the identity of an institution, a city, or a nation. Guided by these aspirations, we respond to complex projects with bold and sustainable design solutions.

Innovative methods for project delivery

We excel in working with complex stakeholder groups across the spectrum of design delivery frameworks—from traditional routes to public-private partnerships. Through our collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, we mitigate risk and find creative, efficient, and durable solutions. The result: innovative civic buildings which stand the test of time.

Perspective

We collaborate with our public clients to define guiding design principles for mission-critical projects.

Through integrated design solutions, we can achieve multiple goals at once: solving complex problems, optimizing workplace performance, and elevating the identity of an institution.
