PLANNING

Our approach to planning integrates architecture, landscape, and culture, creating timeless, site-specific designs that are both visionary and practical—deeply rooted in place, crafted for experience, and built for lasting value.

Great design is a language, not just a style. It is timeless, deeply connected to its site and cultural setting, and it transcends scale. When we approach a planning project, we immerse ourselves in understanding the genius loci—the spirit of the place. Every site has a unique building tradition, a rich history, and a new story waiting to be told.

When creating plans, we consider not just the physical space but the experience of inhabiting it. We envision how it will feel, how it will be used, and how it will shape the lives of those within it. Great design is also good business. People seek well-designed spaces, and great design adds significant value, whether for investors, developers, or local governments.

Ultimately, great plans must be practical. They need to be buildable, functional, and economically viable. With over two decades of experience serving the development community—on sites as far as Norway, Japan, and Lebanon, as well as in our own backyard—we have learned through the long-term realization of our projects. Seeing our designs come to life over years, and sometimes decades, has given us invaluable insight. We bring this lifelong experience to every project we undertake.
