YOUR HOUSING DESIGN EXPERTS
EXPERTS YOU CAN TRUST experience you can rely on
Housing is personal. It’s a place to live, entertain, make life-long friendships, raise a family and grow old. Whether it’s a modern high-rise with a million-dollar view, an enclave of townhomes along the lakeshore or a bustling university campus, we are passionate about designing spaces people are proud to call home. And it’s equally important to integrate those residences into thriving settings we call “community.”
With more than 30 years’ experience, our housing experts are well-equipped to deliver the style and creativity your residential structure deserves, with the architectural and engineering precision it requires. Our in-depth knowledge of industry best practices allows us to create productive, unique spaces for any housing platform.

MULTIFAMILY HOUSING market-rate and LIHTC expertise
The housing market is competitive and we understand owners and developers must garner a return on their capital investments. To that end, we immerse ourselves in your world to fully understand how housing developments can drive organizational performance.
Urban and Site Planning.
The natural setting of the site is viewed as a critical asset to be leveraged and woven into every residential environment we design. In an urban context, existing and proposed development patterns are important considerations in master planning residential sites. On certain projects, we advocate for community and planning engagement which we know helps in successfully gaining local support and final approval.
Keeping Atop of Housing Trends.
Housing is not immune to the tech and sustainable trends we see everywhere. Homeowners are moving towards automated devices that can save energy and provide peace of mind. Younger generations are looking for homes that reflect hobbies and personal values. Staying ahead of housing trends helps us design housing that is relevant now and well into the future.

OUR PROJECTS
STUDENT HOUSING
modern and enduring living spaces
From on-campus residence halls to off-campus apartments, today’s students have more living choices than ever before. Modern student living centers combine personal space with amenities like lounges, clubhouses, coffee shops, fitness and recreation spaces, to provide a more robust and satisfying living experience.
Equity in Design.
Inclusive design, also known as Universal Design, is the act of creating spaces that can be used and accessed by everyone. In fact, it often goes further than the American’s with Disability Act to develop a sense of equality among users. We’re experts in the field of Universal Design and our work has been internationally recognized for its dedication to access for all.
