The essence of guilding
Multiple benefits
The essence of our work is to collaborate with people and organizations that want to contribute to their place and community in ways that evolve beyond their current capabilities.
We examine added values on five capitals - human, social, built, ecological, and financial, creating multiple ways in which a project becomes viable and sustainable over time.
We see this work as capacity building.
Essence of place
Environmental stewardship and seeing our place through the arc of history, geography, climate and geology is central in the process of planning, designing and building communities.
Drawing upon placed-based frameworks and nested systems principles brings awareness into an open and creative process.
We see this work as living systems integration.
Co-imagining
Our collaborations begin by examining our patterns of role and purpose as we nurture patterns of openness, trust and reciprocity.
Developing a process of co-imagining we aim to transform the collective effort to create multiple shared benefits.
We see this work as making real.
