Thank you to all our friends, clients, colleagues, and collaborators who joined us to celebrate our new home in San Francisco! We were also excited to officially welcome Weston Walker, who recently relocated to his native California to lead our San Francisco office.

Situated in the heart of the city’s Financial District, our new office supports our growing team and expanding portfolio across the West Coast. Over the last decade, we’ve had the honor of working on projects that include an expansion of the campus, a revitalization of Kresge College at , the residential tower, and a masterplan for the new Mission Rock neighborhood, where we also designed . We were also thrilled to receive AIA California’s 2025 Firm Award in recognition of our commitment to creating architecture that enriches the communities we call home.

As we kick off this new chapter for our San Francisco office, we’re grateful to everyone who has supported and collaborated with us along the way—and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

The Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at was recently featured in ’s “The Best of the New New York Architecture,” a look back on the past decade of buildings that have stood out by “embrac[ing] the city’s topography and spirit.”

architecture critic Justin Davidson notes, “The new Gilder Center — granite on the outside, shotcrete on the inside, with a seductive composition of concavities and curves — comes off as a true New Yorker: defiantly eccentric, rough, show-offy, and smart. And like any true urbanite, it’s squeezed between neighbors, content to be part of something unthinkably vast.”

The Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center is complete! Named for Brooklyn-born activist, educator, and politician Shirley Chisholm—the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress—the Center establishes a welcoming hub for fitness, recreation, learning, and gathering in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush neighborhood.

Preserving and extending the site’s existing recreational uses, the building features a transparent main entrance and large arched windows that invite visitors in while bringing natural light into the interior. Lower levels offer spaces for recreation and exercise, including a double-height competition-grade pool and a gymnasium with a walking track. Daylit spaces for community and education programs on the upper floors lead to a wrap-around rooftop terrace and garden. Openings between floors maximize visual and physical connections between programs, establishing a vibrant and airy atmosphere that welcomes everyone.

Thank you to our collaborators , , , , .usa, , , , , and many more who helped make this project possible.

Just one week left to experience “The Living Orders of Venice,” our contribution to the 2025 Biennale Architettura! Designed for Venice’s native bees, bats, and birds, our colorful nesting structures reveal how architecture can adapt to provide welcoming habitat for urban wildlife.

Bringing our pieces to life took months of collaboration with scientists, engineers, artists, and fabricators. From learning about the needs of each specific species, to generating complex patterns, testing material and structural properties, and marveling at the slow-motion beauty of animals’ behavior, this project was a thorough and joyful team effort.

Outdoors on the Biennale grounds, over 70 citizen scientists have contributed to our field study of the local ecosystem: the first-ever Biennale Bioblitz! Using the iNaturalist app, we’ve logged over 400 observations of animals, plants, insects, and other living creatures on the Biennale grounds; nearly 200 species in total. Don’t miss your chance to take part in the Bioblitz before the Biennale ends on November 23rd! Follow the link in bio 🔗 to add your own discoveries to our growing map of wildlife in Venice.

Thank you .ch for sharing your time, talents, and expertise! And thank you Laura and Tony Davis and Linden Capital Partners, and Ann M. Drake, for believing in this work and supporting it so generously.

We are proud that our design in the Opera House of the Future competition to create Neue Oper am Rhein’s new home in Düsseldorf was selected as one of four finalists.

Developed in collaboration with , our design envisions a dynamic third space that serves the city not only as a performance venue but also as a public hub for exchange, participation, and shared experiences. Responding to the scale of the surrounding area, the building’s curved façade reflects the rhythm of the city and reveals the activity within, creating a sculptural identity that enriches Düsseldorf’s cityscape. Inside, two primary performance spaces are accompanied by a new Music Library of the City of Düsseldorf and Clara Schumann Music School, forum, opera foyer, and studio foyer, arranged in a choreographed sequence to encourage cross-pollination between traditional opera audiences and visitors engaging with the public areas.

Thank you to the jury for recognizing our design as a “bold and consistent contribution, whose strength lies in its urban planning configuration,” and our collaborators , , , , , , , , , and many more for their partnership and support.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the completion of the David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University! Establishing Harvard’s first university-wide conference center, the new building creates a welcoming destination that energizes conversation, fosters collaboration, and embraces its outdoor environment and surrounding neighborhood.

Anchoring the new Enterprise Research Campus (ERC) in Allston, the Rubenstein Treehouse provides event space and meeting amenities for Harvard affiliates, the community, academia, and industry and business leaders from around the globe. The 55,000-sf building’s exposed mass timber structure—the first of its kind on Harvard’s campus—not only reinforces the Rubenstein Treehouse’s identity as a hub for innovation, but also models a more sustainable and healthier way of building for Boston and institutions worldwide. On the inside, design elements, such as a naturally lit central stair and framed views that create the feeling of being “up in the canopy,” work together to evoke the wonder and excitement of climbing into a treehouse.

This project has been a wonderful collaboration with , , , , , , .global, , , , , and many more!
