Staying ahead of the curve requires both curiosity and a passion for design. Informed by research and fueled by creative rigor, we look beyond today’s trends and embrace tomorrow’s opportunities, using research to propel our design thinking forward.
Our Think Tank brings diverse teams of internal experts together to explore prototypes for new market opportunities.
Our internal micro-grant program provides team members with billable hours to pursue passion projects that inform our work.
Grants provide a window of funded time to advance our tools, strategies, and knowledge in ways beyond the possibilities of our day-to-day work. Over the past five years, we’ve submitted and won grant funding to study mass timber, net zero energy, and embodied carbon to fuel our commitment to high-performance design and inform our partners and jurisdiction of what’s possible.
