Identity
By Design
Strengthening community identity through a clear understanding of local culture and design lineage.
It’s possible for architecture to reinforce a community’s identity. For structures to co-exist seamlessly with their neighbours. And for buildings to respect a region’s design lineage while pushing it forward.
Designing these kinds of homes and communities requires a deep understanding of local context. Our process begins with the culture, people, history and challenges that make up the fabric of a neighbourhood.
Our insights into the past and present lay the foundation for unlocking future potential. The goal: to design neighbourhoods that not only stand the test of time, but actually become part of our city’s story.

Progress
By Design
Designing a better development process through transparency and collaboration between engaged creative teams.
Collaboration is critical to tackling the complex problems facing our cities today. We partner closely with like-minded designers, builders, architects and engineers to challenge the status quo for development in our region.
Breaking down the barriers between disciplines—as well as the traditions within each—clears the way for fresh, innovative solutions. Together, we are setting new standards and advocating for more progressive ways of living.
True collaboration requires transparency. We nurture an ongoing, inclusive dialogue between teams and stakeholders to ensure our homes meet the needs of individuals, families and the wider community now and in the decades to come.

Connection
By Design
Fostering deeper human connections rooted in empathetic and human-centred design and experiences.
Great design can be felt. Environments that thoughtfully address people’s wants and needs improve their quality of life and encourage lasting bonds to each other and to the world around them.
This is what we mean by empathic design: Design that puts people first. Design that quietly adapts to the context of their lives. Design that helps them forge social, physical and digital connections.
In our spaces and our community programming, we use the power of empathetic design to bring people together, enhance daily experiences and support the pursuit of balance and wellbeing.
