Public & Civic

Civic buildings embody the values and identity of the community and its people through design purpose, form, and materiality. Building a legacy, civic buildings prioritize durability and environmental impact, frequently leading the way in sustainable practices. As designers, we focus on creating resilient buildings that use quality materials, provide access to the outdoors, and minimize ongoing operational costs—all while fostering the needs and culture of the community. We aim to ensure their adaptability to effectively serve multiple generations and their ever-changing needs.

When designing a building of civic importance our client is not simply a small group of decision-makers; our client is the entire community, its representatives, and its specific user groups. We ensure that all the voices are heard, and the design reflects the needs of the people—creating equitable architecture that welcomes all and stands the test of time.

Focus areas:

  • Public safety facilities
  • Community centers
  • Non-profits
