We believe the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise and inform the character of a building or city : The structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; the way you move through or around it; and last but not least its ability to lift the spirits.

By working together creatively from the start of a project, architects and engineers combine their knowledge to devise integrated, sustainable engineering solutions.
