It’s how we arrive at the truest solution to a problem—the energy-efficient building that’s easy to operate and maintain, and brings out the best in its occupants. We might be solving for electrification, fire safety, building envelope, or new codes and technology. But to us, the greatest satisfaction comes from not just finding solutions, but elevating the experiences of those who use the spaces we design.
“The knowledge we absorb from each other is immeasurable. It’s about listening to our peers and understanding how the design affects each other’s area of expertise. Even when we have conflicting goals, we work together to determine what’s best for the project, not selling what’s best for our own discipline.”
