About
While Indianapolis is our home base, our projects have taken us to Mexico, Guatemala, France, Ukraine, + across the midwestern United States. We value the cultural exchange that can happen through design of the built enivironment + seek to draw on that diversity wherever possible.
We strive to express the specifics of place + purpose in contemporary ways through materials + detailing.
We value utilizing our shared resources responsibly.
We are driven by our curiosity, which leads us to seek new tools + problem-solving methods to examine the familiar issues of living, working, + play.
