BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE
Our designs are distinct; social, natural, useful and beautiful – a reflection of humanity.
Glasgow Science Center | Glasgow, Scotland
Our beautifully simple approach to design is based on a clarity of integrated thinking, a curiosity about people and places across the world and the careful creation of an authentic unified experience.
We set out to discover the core of each design challenge and to synthesize all the elements to achieve the essence of the solution: places which lift the spirits.
Future cities will be denser, greener and connected. We work with everyone involved in placemaking to integrate all life’s activities in sustainable, human scale communities.

307 Lake Shore Boulevard East | Toronto, Canada
Reina Reina, a mid-rise residential building in Toronto, is designed, developed, engineered, and constructed by an all-woman-led team. Featuring an incredibly robust set of amenities 25% larger than the City requires, the design considers feedback from a year-long consultation process with a range of users including multi-generational families, parents with young or adolescent children, and singles. The result is a contemporary mid-rise with atypically large, flexible floor plans, generous outdoor spaces, a forward-thinking amenity program geared towards fostering community and familiarity between residents, and a family-friendly addition to the community.
