Who We Are: Social at Every Scale

We believe in the power of public spaces - to foster sociability, draw people out, and inspire them to engage with the world and those around them.

From intimate courtyards and neighborhood restaurants to university campuses, grocery-anchored retail centers, and bustling urban districts, our work transforms everyday settings into vibrant, equitable, sustainable hubs where people share meaningful experiences

As a creative team of architects, designers, and planners, we shape places to spark connection, belonging, and joy, and are committed to mentoring the next generation of designers - empowering them to lead with empathy, curiosity, and social purpose.
