DESCRIPTION
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is noted for elegant and humane design, ranging from modest houses to large academic, civic, cultural, commercial, and corporate buildings. Their principals and staff are deeply committed to active collaboration with their clients, emphasizing thorough research and analysis of each situation's particular human, technical, and economic circumstances. The result is exceptional architecture that resonates within its place.
From the beginning, energy efficiency and environmental sensitivity have been integral to the firm’s design culture. They continue to innovate; combining advanced building systems to harvest a site’s distinct climate and place to make the most of sun for light and heat, wind for ventilation, and the land for insulation. They view sustainable design as the right thing to do ethically, but also as an opportunity to make a richer, more powerful architecture
