Our Work
Preservation Planning, Research, Design & Community Development
We believe in community-driven decision making and have assisted communities of all sizes in envisioning a better future.
Architecture & Urban Design
Quality architecture and urban design work together to create welcoming spaces and more desirable places to live. We strive to design and arrange physical elements to evoke feelings and create a lasting impression. This image-ability contributes to “sense of place.”
Community & Neighborhood Development
When understanding the goals, concerns, aspirations, values, priorities, and vision for a place, as articulated by stakeholders, we can more effectively engage with people to refine existing and/or develop new tools to meet community objectives.
