Community Places
Connection happens in the spaces we share. Whether indoors or outdoors, formal or informal, these are the places where neighbours become familiar, where isolation gives way to belonging, where community takes root. Gathering spaces that actually get used - rather than sit empty - require understanding what draws people in and what supports them once they arrive.
We design spaces that invite gathering while honouring the full range of human needs: spaces that hold both celebration and quiet conversation, that welcome everyone while creating intimacy, that serve many purposes while maintaining coherent character. Each community has its own culture and vision for how people come together.
We work collaboratively to understand what each community needs: the activities that will happen here, the people who will use the space, the atmosphere that will make them want to stay. We create gathering places that reflect the community's essence and support connection.

Our Process
We begin by engaging the full community - listening to diverse voices, understanding needs across ages and abilities, and exploring what this space means to the people who will use it. The design process itself is collaborative and inclusive, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate and contribute. We develop concepts that reflect the community's vision, refine designs through ongoing dialogue and feedback, and then create detailed drawings and specifications for construction. Throughout, we coordinate with builders and trades, answer questions as they arise, and ensure the design comes to life as intended - a space that truly belongs to the community that created it.
