Who We Are

At the heart of our company is a deep understanding of the importance of getting it right the first time. We know that architecture is not just about designing spaces, but about creating environments that come to life and inspire those who use them. That's why our clients trust us to follow through on their vision, master the details, and execute every project with precision and flair. From shopping and travel to living and public safety, we solve practical problems for our clients through engaging, purposeful design.

What We Do

Our services are as diverse as the markets we serve, and we offer expert solutions that cater to our clients' unique needs. We take a collaborative approach to every project, working collectively across functions to uncover value-added solutions. From discovery to conception, creation, and client relationships, we follow a simple yet effective approach: listen, understand, and interpret. We listen to our clients, understand their needs, and use our expertise to achieve their vision.

Our Process

At CR, we believe that architecture is both an art and a discipline. Our work, our people, and our processes revolve entirely around the way space and structure are realized. Our discovery process begins with listening to our clients' mission, values, challenges, and vision for the project. This forms the foundation of our approach and serves as a baseline against which we measure our ultimate success. We then use this foundation to conceive of a design that balances imagination with practicality, and finally, we bring that design to life through creation and refinement.

Client Relationships

We understand that great design is just the beginning, and making it work in the real world is the true challenge. That's why we're keenly attuned to the people, spaces, and needs we design for. We carefully consider every detail to ensure that our work solves a problem or anticipates a need. This awareness guides our process and fuels the strong relationships we build with our clients. We're motivated by discovery and a vision for the future, and we're constantly working to uncover holistic solutions tailored to each of our valued clients.

How We Work

We solve complex problems, design intuitive spaces, and engineer innovative solutions. From space planning to project management, we bring creativity, technical expertise, and a passion for our craft to every project. Whether it's recreating a brand image or helping a school system become a leader in education, we're dedicated to creating extraordinary places that inspire and transform.
