Since 1853 we have embraced opportunities to work alongside clients, partners and colleagues who dare to push boundaries and pursue bold “what if” dreams. Enamored with architecture, our founder Sheldon Smith pursued unique design opportunities throughout the 1800s that has carried our firm forward for 170 years through a diverse portfolio of projects found across the globe. Whether it’s creating a space to heal patients, advancing research and discovery, inspiring through learning environments, building businesses or protecting resources, our goal is to design a better future for everyone.

This promise comes alive through a diverse team of experts that balance imagination, innovation and technical excellence to design solutions to meet the needs of tomorrow and beyond. By creating partnerships with clients that share our goals, values, and visions, we are yielding outstanding results in shaping the future for generations to come.
