approach

We are dedicated to creating inspiring spaces that balance desires with resources.

We believe that good design means creating enduring relationships among spaces, materials, people and the planet.

Listening is the most important thing we do to successfully achieve this goal; understanding clients’ values as well as their requirements allows us to imagine elegant solutions.

We help clients define their needs and priorities, create solutions that achieve those goals and provide vision and leadership throughout the design and construction process.

community

We think that design is a fundamentally optimistic act; we see a challenge, something or some space in our community with a need, then employ our creativity, knowledge, and time to help make it better. This is probably why we are the go-to firm for community organizations and nonprofits who are also committed to making Evanston and Chicago the best they can be for everyone. We are proud to have provided pro-bono services, reduced fees, or worked alongside the following Evanston and Chicago organizations to help them amplify their work for the community.
