So much has changed in 30 years, but the foundation of our firm remains steady. We are still as committed to design and technical excellence as we were on day one. We are unwavering in our commitment to building a culture that rewards the human experience: within our office, for our clients, through our collaborations, and for anyone who encounters a space that we’ve helped shape.

Intimately understanding context—the regional, historical, ecological, social, and political systems— that impact the built world has always driven our approach, whether on a city-wide park system or a site-scaled private property. Taking context and translating its essence into refined, contextual, and sustainable spaces that promote wellness and inclusivity has been the bedrock of our practice as we’ve grown and evolved.

Now, as we celebrate 30 years of business, we are taking this milestone as an opportunity to reflect on the context of our firm. Over the past year, we have explored what drives us, and how our work can impact the world in the most strategic and profound ways possible. This journey has yielded a much deeper understanding of who we are when we are at our best, and what we have to offer to our clients, to our colleagues, and to the world.

This exploration has also yielded a new visual language to boldly broadcast our identity. Far from being a new logo and some business cards, our new brand is the outward representation of who we are—and how we want to continue growing.

While we are beyond proud of the relationships and projects we have already built, we know that great design never stands still and that our best work is yet to come. We invite you to celebrate our 30th anniversary with us through embracing a forward-looking, problem-solving vision for what the world can become, and contributing when and how you can.
