How HALE works

Planning and architecture considered together.

  1. 01Community planning

    Technical assistance rooted in the place, its relationships, and the decisions ahead.

  2. 02Resilience planning

    Buildings and infrastructure considered through risk, vulnerability, and long-term performance.

  3. 03Building design

    Architectural and interior design developed as one integrated direction.

The practice

A solo practice with a wider lens.
