Over the past year, we have seen the continued resilience of our employees and extended creative community of clients. As we close out 2021, we are reflecting on all we have accomplished, experienced, learned, and created. While 2021 saw the completion of great works of architecture, it has also been a busy year for unbuilt designs. Whether this consists of imaginary visions intended to broaden horizons and innovations of our neighborhoods or practical projects intended for construction. We are grateful to our clients for their continued support.
In 2021 we have…added many exciting projects to the boards.
Last year we began work on many projects! Our team of dedicated architects, project managers, and interior designers have worked to bring our client's design vision to life with each of these projects. Projects included those in the civic and educational sector, financial institutions, restaurants, offices, retail, and residential projects.
Included in those exciting projects is The Bison Bridge. Our client’s goal is to turn the I-80 Bridge into the world's longest human-made wildlife crossing, to be enjoyed by locals, tourists...and bison! This one-of-a-kind structure can put the Quad Cities on the map, making a positive impact on tourism and population and recruiting and retaining workforce talent to the area. The Bison Bridge would be the longest manmade wildlife crossing in the world!
In 2021 we began the year with one licensed architect, at the end of the year, we have five.
We have welcomed six new members to our studio. Welcome to the team, Caleb, Luz, James, Julie, Sam and Craig.
We added a new studio in Iowa City and an office in Peoria.
Under the direction of James Phelps, our Iowa City office has strived to better our relationships with developers, contractors, and the business community in the Iowa City / Cedar Rapids corridor. Projects include residential, hospitality, institutional, and non-profits.
Bailey Lushina is continuing to foster relationships with clientele in our new Peoria office located inside The Nest Networking space.
