Maximizing the Opportunity of Place

Every client has a strategic goal in mind when they engage us to study or design a new place. It might be to attract top physicians and nurses, educate a new generation of students, support an innovative culture or maybe create a destination hotel or restaurant within a city. No matter the type, the decision to design a new environment is a powerful and fleeting moment of opportunity to dramatically advance an organization. Our collaborative process and expert staff guide our clients to achieve powerful results through their projects and take full advantage of this moment. How can we help you maximize your opportunity of place?

Crisp and clean white expresses not only modern architecture, but a modern and progressive view on business and service excellence. The workplace design is high energy, open and collaborative with peeking elements encouraging shared glimpses of spaces beyond.

South of the Minnesota Northwoods is the unique community of St. Cloud. A mix of urban, rural, nature and technology forces shape this growing city. Capital One expressed a strong desire to reflect the community, highlight the company values, and celebrate Minnesota Nice. Our Environmental Branding team utilized the four seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter—to aid wayfinding, organize design styles and celebrate the local culture.
