Our task as designers is to integrate creativity, context, history, culture, environment, and inspiration with our expertise, resulting in developments that are greater than the sum of their parts.

“Sure, New York is home to millions of buildings, but how many architects can claim some 70 buildings, many of them very big, many of them designed or built only in the span of a few years.”
