Our work with Native Nations has taught us much about cultural design

We believe every space and place holds the power to foster community and culture.

Community authorship, culturally-attuned references, and design involvement by many – from client staff to youth to elders – all help foster self-determination by allowing communities to control and shape their future. This results in distinctive and beautifully designed master plans, project sites, and built structures. This enables the spaces, both within and outside the structures, to shape human movement and create experiences that speak the language of the people. We find truth and success in this approach when working with communities that hold value in culture and belonging.
