Culture + Values
Design is in everything we do: a successful design centers around health and wellbeing for all its users, is sensitive to environmental impacts, and is adaptable to future change.
Humbly engage many: we actively seek multiple perspectives and experiences to take each design beyond what we could have imagined alone.
Practice thoughtfully & thoroughly: a project’s unique contexts—geographical, social, cultural, and economical—influence how we pursue its potential solution; collaborating beyond our expertise is integral.
Make possibility a reality: aim to be catalysts for positive community impacts, modeling resiliency and wellness, manifesting client values, and maximizing flexibility for future change.
Accountability by all, opportunity for all: committed to addressing climate change and social inequities through project and internal operations with equity and sustainability in everything we do.
Environment + Sustainability
Committed to achieving a carbon-free future through measures such as remote work and green/local purchasing.
Targeting net zero operating and embodied carbon, net zero water, and zero red-list material across projects.
Implementing early-phase carbon estimation and Whole Building Life Cycle Assessments to use low-carbon materials.
Using post-occupancy evaluations to measure building performance and refine future designs.
Inclusion & Diversity
Increase representation of Black architects & designers through targeted mentoring, partnerships with NOMA and HBCUs to expand recruitment and retention.
Re-examine hiring and interview procedures to eliminate unconscious bias and promote equal pay for equal work.
