Who We Are

We design spaces that improve the way people feel and function. 

We are an architectural firm providing wellness-based design services to visionary clients who are passionate about creating healing environments.  

Long before it became the prevailing industry model – say about 40 years ago – we began focusing on person-centered design. Envisioning the future of senior living, we studied design issues related to aging and saw the natural correlation between healing and well-being.

That’s how this became our passion and why we are singularly focused on senior living and healing environments. And, we continue to help shape the evolving field of wellness in architecture through our commitment to research, education, and innovation.

Driven by an unwavering belief that environments affect behavior and well-being – that design matters – we apply fresh thinking and innovation to this fast-changing field. Pioneering wellness design for more than 40 years, many of the concepts we helped bring forward, such as the first research study to track wellness in senior living communities, are now embraced by senior living communities across the nation.

Our team shares a common vision and commitment to creating places and spaces that empower individuals with vitality, hope and happiness.
