Epic work is
only possible
when you
have the
right people.
The kind of people who are good at what they do and know how to have fun in the process.
We always
take our
work seriously. But never ourselves.
We keep things light. We laugh hard. And we genuinely enjoy one another’s company. It’s our secret sauce. And when you work with us, we consider you part of the team. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and have some fun too.
Our team in their Natural Environment.#dtjculture
The multifamily sector is no longer just temporary housing—it’s a permanent lifestyle choice for a wide range of households.
Remote workers need adaptable spaces. Empty nesters want low-maintenance spaces. Young families seek community and stability. The one-size-fits-all approach? It`s not working anymore.
That’s why on September 18 in Atlanta, GA, we’re hosting Experience Innovation 2025 with a focus on Evolving Multifamily Communities for Modern Households.

Our Landscape Architecture Studio hit the field with a site visit to Center Park in Downtown Westminster, CO, where we provided Architecture and Landscape Architecture services. These hands-on site visits are a vital part of our studio training, in conjunction with in-office training sessions on site grading, construction documentation, and consultant coordination. And we have fun while doing it! 💪
Big thanks to our project partner ECI Construction and @westminster.colorado for letting us get a close look at the progress and complexity behind Center Park while better understanding the intricacies of the amazing projects we work on. We’re proud to be part of creating spaces that bring communities together! 🌎
Great amenities don`t just wow buyers, they become the reason they choose your community. Consider two impactful approaches to make this happen:
🌿Rewilding Design (by Brian Ryckman): Learn how nature can be your greatest tool, making it the foundation of design to create spaces that foster authentic connections.
🎯 Right-Sizing Amenities (by Chris Moore): Move beyond `bigger is better` to focus on smart investments, capital timing, and revenue-generating programs for lasting community value.
