On each project, we focus on 3 key values:

Creative Experimentation + Excellence

We hold artists in high regard. We honor their ability to see the world in new ways. We see them for what they are, visionaries of our future. Because of this, we integrate creative experimentation and innovation of all kinds into our projects. We believe the arts are a vital and necessary part of human life.

Livability

We work with our residents and clients to create spaces and experiences that are not just engaging and beautiful, but also tailored to the people who live there. The community is the highest priority in everything we do.

This focuses results in the ability to re-activate a space, rather than re-building. There is a history here that goes back generations. Our wish is to celebrate the energy and culture of these spaces through our work, rather than re-building in a new, inauthentic image.

The integration of boundary-pushing art in these places allows space to express a vision for the future as well as instilling a sense of wonder in the people who experience it. We believe that this type of interaction with art unlocks potential and improves the human experience.

Equity + Inclusion

We believe that our residents, particularly from our communities of color, need to be at the forefront of conversations around decisions being made about their neighborhoods. Inclusion is about stripping away the barriers of access across all demographic boundaries while uplifting and empowering historically marginalized people.
