Housing
Functional housing is a fundamental community need. From Greek houses on college campuses to multi-family, age-restricted, and assisted care housing, we design for value, connection, and our residents’ well-being.
If a house is where we live, a home is where we thrive
Housing looks different depending on where it is and who uses it. Our consideration and understanding of the cultural fabric of our communities, combined with our industry leading portfolio, enable us to provide functional housing while enhancing the lives of our residents.
With experience on more than 175 housing projects, we work in neighborhoods and on campuses across the country to help our clients do more for people inhabiting these spaces.
We ask the right questions and recognize the potential for project improvements. Our housing planners and architects guide stakeholders through proforma, financial considerations, and constructability reviews. We help build consensus with all stakeholders while bringing our clients solutions that work and of which they will be proud.

Thinking beyond the project
We don’t let confidence in what we know prevent us from exploring new ideas. No idea goes unexamined, and no question goes unasked. By listening to all involved in the project, digging deeper, and exploring new avenues, we can help our clients find solutions that fit their unique needs.
Our interactive approach involves as many people as necessary to fully contextualize the project. We brainstorm programmatic issues and define project challenges early in the process. We believe in the importance of collaboration between stakeholders and the design team, with both parties openly communicating along the way. This approach creates spaces that provide housing facilities that align both financially and operationally for our clients.
