The work environment is highly collaborative and inclusive, promoting shared ownership of projects across all levels of experience. Team members work closely together in an open office layout where everyone, including principals, sits in an open studio setting. Desks, drawers, and workstations are designed to be interchangeable, encouraging teamwork and the easy sharing of ideas and information. There are dedicated areas for private calls to support focused work when needed.

The culture emphasizes collaboration, inclusion, and meeting deadlines. The office serves as a headquarters with a staff of approximately 70–80 people and is part of a broader network of offices in other major cities. The firm has a long-standing presence in healthcare design and is known for being on the cutting edge of modern design. The dress code is business casual.

Work is currently fully remote until further notice, with the option in the future to remain remote, work in a hybrid arrangement, or work full-time in the office. Most projects last between 6 and 18 months.
