Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

EDI

We look to embrace diversity and promote inclusivity at every opportunity: in the firm we build, in the places we create, and in the communities we serve. Our commitment to equity is never incidental, it is always by design.

Community

Community

Service is a core value and virtue of our practice. It is more than “paying it forward” or “doing the right thing”. We believe architects and designers are uniquely suited to strengthen communities and have a responsibility to help “heal the world”. We serve on nonprofit boards, facilitate community engagement, and volunteer for inspiring causes. We are teachers and thought leaders. We are natural-born advocates for our profession, design, community causes, and equity. These commitments are not viewed as extracurriculars, but as the fuel for a culture of community leadership.

The 1+, a program by Public Architecture, challenges architecture and design firms across the globe to make a pledge of one percent or more of annual billable hours to pro bono service. We exceed that challenge by threefold.
