Specialties

We create transformative human-centered environments for mission-driven organizations in:
Healthcare, Senior Care, Higher Education, and Science & Technology

Begin Today

Healthcare

We understand the potential to aid in the healing and recovery process through a human-centered healthcare environment. We create the visionary’s medical facility, the patient’s ideal facility, the perfect place for doctors and nurses to practice their craft, holding to the aspiration of a building as healing as the professionals inside.

Senior Care

We know that being a senior doesn’t mean life stops, so we create resident-centered living and care centers. Familiar, welcoming, enabling with details that evoke the feeling of a small town or a visit with a cherished friend. Surprising, detailed, vibrant, unexpected, practical and full of life. Places that are joyful to come home to.

Higher Education

We are advocates of education and feel that the best education is provided in a functional, tailored space. To best support our healthcare workers of tomorrow, we work directly with educators and stakeholders at each level to become intently familiar with the needs of your project. From visioning a cutting-edge lab to campus master planning, we join with you as a committed team to provide the best to your campus.

Science & Technology

Healthcare can take place in many different types of structures, however, the need for specific skilled design is unanimous. Our designs weave together practical and artistic components to create structures and spaces that welcome and inspire. As with all our projects, community and commercial structures are created with a higher purpose and an eye to humanity in mind.

OUR PROCESS

In partnership with your stakeholders and beginning with your mission and vision, we create a unique set of guiding principles for your project. These principles ensure that the best ideas rise to the top as we work together to achieve a higher purpose.

In collaboration with you, we will facilitate a series of interactive Strategic Planning, Visioning, Programming, and Schematic Design workshops that draw on our combined experience and passion. Together we will challenge the status quo and draw out the unique detailed needs of your patients and providers so that an innovative design solution can be custom-tailored to serve your vision.

This is followed by the integration of medical and construction technologies to generate a comprehensive set of plans to guide the project to completion.
