Innovation starts with inquiry.

In our never-ending quest for knowledge, we push limits, take risks, investigate, and discover. We constantly ask ourselves, “What if?” “What’s next?” This makes our ideas clearer, our designs smarter, our teams happier, and our clients more satisfied.

Our research is inspired by our practice. Our practice is informed by our research.

We believe research holds the key to greater project performance. Our researchers and designers work in partnership from project start to completion. Together, they assess our clients’ goals and innovate ways to achieve them.

We're developing new knowledge every day to stay smarter, nimbler, and more competitive.

Our research focuses on five core areas of inquiry: Human Experience; Resource Circularity; Performance Optimization; Construction Innovation; and Physical-Digital Experience.
