Commercial
A Workspace Rooted in Energy and Flexibility
Not Your Typical Office Environment
Design that elevates mixed-use opportunities.
Mixed-use projects, urban or suburban, can be smarter and more beautiful. Often inspired by a single major anchor, our buildings and planning options balance scale, efficiency, and futureproofing. And they’re designed for profitability – whether the project is for businesses, residents, or a dynamic combination of both.
Repurposing existing buildings.
Office-to-residential conversion shows remarkable promise for bringing energy and purpose to under-performing properties. But getting it right requires a balance of design and practicality. We help developers explore and understand their options so they feel fully confident in their investment.
