Cultural / Arts

Our firm has a long history of designing cultural buildings that serve as special places for art, performance, and community. We believe in the power of design to encapsulate the spirit of the functions taking place within each project. Whether we are designing a museum, gallery, performance space, or environmental center, we strive to create spaces that inspire and enrich the lives of those who use them.

With a deep understanding of the needs of artists, user groups, non-profit organizations, and city governments, we are able to deliver high-performance buildings and landscapes that serve the unique needs of each project. We believe in the importance of collaboration and strive to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure that each design not only meets the functional requirements, but also enhances the experience of those who use it.
