Our Work

Walls and Ceilings Should Set Us Free, Not
Confine Us

Workplace design with the human connection goes beyond the four walls of a workspace and influences the work people do and the communities who benefit from it. It inspires and excites.

Neurology

By understanding the fundamentals of how the brain works and the ways humans adapt to physical and social environments, the interaction between neurology and infrastructure unfolds.

Psychology

Each person behaves and presents themselves differently. Identifying what those individual thoughts, feelings and behaviors allows us to create adaptive spaces to accommodate them.

Anthropology

Understanding the cultures we are a part of is key to strengthening. But the end goal, or end product isn’t only this body of knowledge we gain — but it’s reflected in the design itself.
