Out of a historic, renovated school building in the heart of DC’s Central Business District, we help clients transform their physical environments in ways that shape the future. Our experience includes many landmark buildings, with project goals ranging from furthering education to providing quality housing to rethinking tomorrow’s office building. While we’ve earned a reputation as a leader in workplace strategy, our success in base building, innovative jewel-box projects and world-class offices and headquarters speaks to the versatility and ingenuity of our design thinking.

Our ability to take on a wide range of challenges is made possible by our commitment to diversity, and the valuable insights and unique points of view brought to the table. While we come from different backgrounds, we share a spirit of civic and social responsibility. We are a DC local Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) committed to ongoing collaboration with local, small, minority- and women-owned businesses. Our pro-bono work for non-profit organizations includes the design of a new building in Washington DC's Navy Yard neighborhood for hands-on education and training using urban, natural, and maritime resources as "living classrooms," designing a dining room facility for the poor and homeless community, and various mentorship programs that support students in envisioning opportunities beyond their difficult circumstances. Our employees give time, heart and energy to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and DC Public Schools “Architecture in Schools” program, among others. Being engaged in building stronger communities is important to us, as designers and architects entrusted with creating enduring impact.
