Designing
in Context
Each project we undertake is a specific architectural response to a unique set of circumstances and aspirations. Most commonly with our commissions, as the project is part of an existing context of urban or campus buildings and spaces, our process becomes an exploration about how the new architecture can be informed by—and can illuminate—what came before it.

We look to the context of adjacent buildings and landscapes for inspiration to create architecture that is resonant with its place.

To us, a cohesive campus is not necessarily one that relies on a consistent style of architecture, but one where buildings are thoughtfully considered for their scale, shape, materiality, and craft—fostering a sense of place by unifying and defining the spaces between them.
