We use a highly accessible, visual and graphic approach to engage communities and translate their ideas into design visions. We collaborate with clients and community members to build capacity and co-create design solutions that integrate local knowledge with best practices and our own experience.

These are the foundation of successful plans and development projects, enabling clients to then deploy the skills and resources needed for implementation.
Honouring the traditions of great urbanism, our urban design process is collaborative, creative, local and premised on technical excellence.
