Role summary

We believe the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements
that separately comprise and inform the character of a building: the
structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology;
the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of
the building to the skyline or the streetscape; the way you move through or
around it; and last but not least its ability to lift the spirits.
