Welcome to our Charlotte studio
We thrive off the energy and creativity of our diverse team. Together, we challenge the status quo, helping to shape the Queen City’s architectural fabric by designing meaningful, memorable places. Human connections delight us: they have the power to transform a person’s experience in a built environment. That’s why we design spaces that encourage “productive collisions”—to enhance people’s experiences with each another and the place they’re in.

We consider it a privilege to work in one of the fastest-growing major cities in the U.S.—drawing upon its energy to feed our creativity and make a lasting impact.

“The Charlotte studio is a special place. I’m proud to come to work each day with such dedicated professionals who are changing the future of the built environment.”
—Liz Richardson, Project Architect

Outdoor Sketching
We are inspired by the fabric and culture of the communities we serve.

“I'm still new to the firm and to the Charlotte studio—I haven't even been here a full year yet—and it already feels like home. This is what working should be.”
—Tommy Dew, Senior Project Architect
