Design Matters

We harness the power of good design to positively impact communities. Our mission is to breakdown barriers of access to professional services, information, and resources.

We believe that Architecture is a perfect vehicle for addressing issues of social justice as they pertain to housing. That’s why we offer clients discounted rates based on their income. By providing professional services accessible to all residents, we help make homes safer and more energy efficient, help homeowners retain equity, and ultimately prevent displacement due to gentrification.

“As an environmental health researcher, I have studied ways in which inadequate housing influences health and disproportionately affects low-income families and communities of color. In my view, retrofitting low-income housing in particular is a high-leverage way to tackle some of our nation’s most pressing health, social and environmental challenges.”
