collaboration
While we dominate a number of key markets across the globe, we believe true design magic comes when we cross-pollinate ideas and approaches across our core business sectors and services.

incorporates urban design, architecture,
interiors, branding and landscape
architecture to create places of distinction.

A single-use sensibility is no longer sustainable. Today’s major developments depend on a mixture of uses, an urban sensibility and a collaboration among multiple stakeholders.
Stacked components, mass transit and an enhanced public realm are the hallmarks of the next generation of large-scale development.

Shifting demographics and an emphasis on life-style are
altering the residential landscape. Today’s new
communities rely on “sustainable planning” to create a
proximity of uses and an urban density in a suburban or
edge-city location.

transit-oriented development
Today’s sustainable, thriving communities rely on
a mixture of uses as well as an understanding of
mass transit, which should be an integral element
of any comprehensive urban plan. By creating
economic opportunities and commercial nodes,
TOD makes our cities more livable.
