Collaborative design with ingenuity is our specialty. Building connections through design is our passion.
Since 1999, we’ve been transforming spaces and strengthening communities. Our collaborative approach to architecture and interior design is built on a vision of professional growth through mentorship, leadership, and shared creative purpose.
Yet our design philosophy goes deeper, rooted in context and purpose, bridging gaps and embracing diversity and sustainability to create spaces that do more than shelter: they bring people together and transform neighborhoods. This dedication to both design excellence and mentorship has earned us the AIA Ohio Gold Medal Firm Award.
Architecture
Our award-winning architecture responds to place and purpose, creating buildings that strengthen communities and stand up to real-world use. From masterplanning that guides development to construction administration that ensures your vision is built right, we bring both creative ambition and practical expertise to every project. Working seamlessly with our interior design team from day one, we create cohesive spaces where architecture and interiors tell a unified story.
Interior Design
Our collaborative approach builds on the power of storytelling to connect people to place through thoughtfully designed interiors. We work across hospitality, workplace, and residential projects, creating spaces that bring people together and feel authentic to their purpose. From brand strategy and space planning to custom furniture and finishing touches, our interior design team collaborates closely with architecture to ensure every detail supports your vision.
Sustainability
As Ohio’s first LEED-certified architectural office, we help you create buildings that are healthier for people and lighter on the planet. We bring expertise in green building certifications, high-performance design, and material analysis to every project. Whether you’re pursuing LEED, focusing on wellness, or exploring regenerative design, we guide you through the process with data-driven strategies that balance environmental responsibility with real-world budget and performance needs.
Experiential Design
We design the full journey through a space — from brand identity to the environmental graphics and wayfinding that guide people where they need to go. Whether we’re building a complete visual system from scratch or translating existing brand guidelines into signage and branded elements, the goal is creating spaces where people feel oriented and connected to the story around them. Our experiential design work integrates seamlessly with architecture and interiors to create cohesive environments.
Historic Preservation
We honor the past while designing for the future through preservation work that includes facilities assessments, adaptive reuse, and restoration. Our team navigates the complexities of historic codes at local, state, and federal levels, while identifying funding opportunities including tax credits and grants. Through careful research and sensitive design, we transform buildings of cultural significance into vital spaces that strengthen communities and serve new generations.
Process
Discovery and Analysis
We begin by building an understanding of your vision and challenges through meaningful conversations with your team. This collaborative start builds trust and uncovers opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
Creative Development
Innovation meets expertise as we transform insights into innovative design solutions that balance beauty, function, and budget. Our diverse experience gives us fresh perspectives, while visualizations and BIM technology help validate decisions.
Technical Documentation
We translate design intent into comprehensive construction documents, coordinating all disciplines to ensure buildability and code compliance. Our thorough coordination process provides clarity for successful project execution.
Project Realization
We stay by your side throughout construction, solving challenges quickly and keeping everyone informed. From submittal review to final punch list, we ensure the built result delivers on the design promise.
Strong relationships inspire ideas and push us farther. With our clients. And one another.
Rooted in our love of design and the centuries-old discipline we practice, we imagine and create thoughtful spaces that invigorate communities and the people in them. Our approach to architecture is intentional and holistic—always letting purpose and context drive the design.
