CREATE SPACE WITH PURPOSE

These four words remind us that our work transcends planning and architecture, and the space we create extends beyond the physical places our firm is entrusted to design. We seek to influence policies and decision-making processes to develop progressive communities that truly serve the people we represent. And because we recognize this space doesn’t exist for everyone, we are committed to CREATE SPACE WITH PURPOSE for all, all the time.

CORE VALUES

CONNECT - Our work is of service to others. We include, we listen, and we care deeply about representing people.

CHAMPION - We value and celebrate the unique context of each community.  We recognize that inviting people into our process makes our work better.  Our approach challenges the industry standard.

ENDURE - We continue to honor and live our founding principles of social consciousness and civic duty.  We improve places for people in order to support diverse, resilient communities.

LEAD BY DESIGN - Our process is focused and intentional. We get up in the morning inspired to positively impact the lived experience.

MISSION

We design spaces and places that complement their surroundings, add to a city’s vitality, and reflect our clients’ values. We aspire to create the people places that promote a sense of community.

DRIVEN BY DESIGN

Due to our genuine community dedication, thoughtful designs, and high quality results, we are thankful for and humbled by the awards and honors received. They represent the commitment and passion we pour into every project, and we are incredibly proud that our clients and collective work have been recognized with over 250 awards and honors.

We are honored to have been recognized with an AIA Ohio Gold Medal Firm Award, the highest honor the organization can bestow upon a firm, in recognition of consistent excellence in design and professional practice.
