OUR SERVICES

Your work goes above and beyond business as usual.

Our practice spans the fields of architecture and aerospace, with capabilities ranging from one-of-a-kind buildings to a new generation of space stations. Working across sectors enables a unique perspective and the transfer of best practices.

Our approach is creative and thoughtful, balancing an aspirational vision for the future against the pragmatism needed to realize that future. Our breadth of practice is tied together by a common goal: improving the built environment where we all live, whether on Earth or in space.

AEROSPACE DESIGN

Establishing the framework for viable space systems

You are building complex, state of the art systems for the next generation of space habitation, whether in Earth orbit, a planetary surface, or beyond. From imagining end-to-end concepts to detailing human-oriented interiors, we bring architectural expertise built on a foundation of aerospace industry fundamentals to help you realize your vision.

When you partner with us, you can expect seamless integration with your engineering team and the delivery of thoughtful, human-centered design solutions that flexibly adapt to changing schedules and priorities.

  • We shape broad technical problem statements into actionable design concepts that your team can run with.

  • We establish the architecture of the human interface with the vehicle and help you develop human-centered design solutions that meet your requirements, optimize system integration, meet engineering budgets, and enable crews to do their best work.

  • Detailed organization of the vehicle, locating elements, accommodating systems, controlling CAD interfaces. Integrating your subsystem team inputs into a cohesive whole.

  • Consulting on habitability and human factors, human in the loop test support, mock-up fabrication support.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Places for people to thrive, by design

You work on the front lines of making the world a better place. Your people are high performing and high impact; your built environment should be too. Buildings shape the way we live and work and can be a benefit or detriment to the productivity, engagement, happiness, and health of their occupants.

Our architecture practice emphasizes mission-driven typologies: laboratories, science & technology, and education. Our approach emphasizes sustainable, timeless design solutions that respond to the problems you need solved, fit within real-world constraints, and support the well-being of users.

  • We’re comfortable working in all design phases and typologies, delivering exceptional design solutions.

  • Experience with all design and construction phases combines with our engineering background and expertise in BIM to deliver smooth integration between the architecture and building systems.

  • From complex geometry panelization to computational solar studies to detailed design, we help ensure your building envelope performs and looks good doing it.

  • Predesign can be messy and confusing. We bring clarity to the process through visualization, narrative, and experience mapping, setting your building project up for success.

  • Our experience with model deliverables and navigating LOD can help you strategically navigate your BIM approach.

DESIGN STRATEGY, VISUALIZATION, AND STORYTELLING

Framing future design problems, communicating your vision

How can design thinking best inform and enable your vision for the future? Our diverse experience positions us to deliver technically-savvy strategies and insights across industries. Design strategy, together with engaging visuals and narratives, ensure your message reaches your stakeholders.

  • Where are you today, where do you want to go, and how will you get there? We can provide a framework for getting these questions answered.

  • Before there’s a design, there’s an idea. We’ll help bring that idea to life with visuals and will get everyone excited.

  • Your project is figured out, now let’s share it with the world.

  • At the center of human-centered design, we help define human experience as a design driver before you start building, helping ensure you build the right thing.

  • Your stakeholders need to hear what you have to say, whether it’s a mass email, pitch deck, or branded environment.
