Our Designs are Highly Contextual, Working in Harmony with Your Environment, and Beautifully Resilient

We believe in the power of architectural design to shape positive change and work with clients, developers, and builders who value long-term sustainable impact. Together, we’ll create buildings that are healthier, more comfortable, consume less energy, and respond thoughtfully to your local community and climate.

 
Shape’s design was creative and beautiful, comfortable, functional, energy efficient, and built with sustainable materials. The team did an excellent job blending these and educating me throughout the process.
