Character is the aggregate of traits that form the individual nature of a person, place or thing. There is value in authenticity. The Firm places an emphasis on working with clients with strong character and appreciation for projects that are thoughtfully designed to be compatible and accretive to the place where they are located.

Commitment is a pledge or dedication towards an obligation. We are committed to our clients, our work, and our passion for placemaking. This means being the best we can be. Steadfast and Loyal. And ultimately delivering results with value.

Collaboration is to work jointly together in an intellectual endeavor. We enlist collaborative planning in the work we do; and we look for opportunities to build and achieve together with our clients, design professionals, engineers, local government staff and elected officials. On matters that call for broader collaboration or advancing public policy initiatives, we tap into our extensive network of relationships with civic leaders, nonprofit organizations and policy experts.

Community is a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society. We see our work and advocacy for clients as part of a larger collective effort to adapt, restore and improve upon the built environment and the quality of life in the neighborhoods in which we work. The Firm and our professionals are involved in the community through charitable organizations and leadership positions, and this civic involvement enhances the credibility we bring to the table with local government officials.
