Designing spaces for artists, innovators, and changemakers.
About Our Work
Our research and design deepens people’s abilities to be present and productive in their spaces and lives.
Featured Projects
While we design a wide range of projects, we excel at projects that illuminate the human experience and create an emotional impact.
-
Description text goes hereEntry through an unassuming facade instantly transports visitors into the unexpected and invites a change of perspective.
-
A skylight removes barriers between gallery attendees and the sun overhead, reconnecting people with their humanness.
-
The same way set design allows for a play to unfold on a stage, open ended designs offer flexibility through the years.
-
Exposed, large steel rusted panels demonstrate the living, evolving nature of materials and the beauty of the project’s industrial surroundings.

Design Lab
There’s a lot of talk these days about the clash between workers' desire to stay home and companies' desire to get people back in the office. The good news is that the two parties’ interests are actually aligned: for many workers, their homes are much better suited to productivity than the office spaces they left behind. From designing office spaces in NYC, we’ve learned that the way to bring people back to work is not through mandates or incentives, but by providing the quality offices workers need to do their jobs well.
