K–12 Education

We design for a sustainable future by creating schools that can inspire the next generation. Our work is guided by the conviction that architecture plays a powerful role in enriching minds, fostering innovation, and shaping the future.

Achieving transformative outcomes through collaboration

Our design and planning solutions emerge from a deeply collaborative process that emphasizes listening, exploring, and exchanging ideas. We work together as a focused, close-knit studio, yet we also have the capabilities of a multi-disciplinary global firm. This gives us a unique ability to apply new technologies and insights from our intensive research and development program to serve each school’s future needs.

Whether designing a pioneering net-zero-energy school or introducing new routes and a new social dimension to a historic campus, we are passionate that students, teachers, are excited about the place where they learn.

Perspective

Schools are the backbone of our society, and a reflection of our collective values. It’s our responsibility that the schools we design today are forward thinking, and embody a vision of a more equitable and more sustainable future.
