Justice

CLIMATE
In light of the urgency for action commensurate with the threat of climate change, we are designing for a Climate Positive future today. Resilient design solutions are key attributes in navigating the uncertainties toward positive impacts.

EQUITY
Recognizing the unconscious bias baked into design practice and the disproportionate impacts of climate change on disenfranchised communities, we seek to proactively build equity and diversity into our work, with restorative public health outcomes for all.

Experience

WELLBEING
We believe in the power of design to create a continuous platform of wellness and support for all users; Our practice is deeply rooted in a commitment to creating environments where people thrive.

JOY
Every project is about the possibility of new experiences; We sculpt the elements of nature, engage the senses, spark curiosity, and lift the spirits.

Identity

CULTURE
Celebrating the strength of diverse perspectives while creating momentum around an aspirational outcome, we transform needs and aspirations into destinations that will ultimately transcend them.

VISION
With collective curiosity and open minds, we explore the ever evolving and dynamic world around us to unearth the unexpected and reveal new possibilities.

We believe great design lifts spirits and opens minds, connects people and communities, embraces and protects the environment.

The Coastal Biology Building and Coastal Science Campus project was extremely successful in fulfilling the University’s goals. The EHDD team truly listened to our goals and needs, and resolved them with an elegant design that went beyond our expectations for this new department home.
