Getting housing developments off the ground
Multifamily housing design studio
We bring more housing into your community. We’ve designed more than 7,000 units of publicly- and privately-funded housing, so we really know how to keep these projects moving forward. From entitlements through design, community engagement, construction, and beyond, we are your strategic partner.
Our dedicated multifamily housing design studio specializes in affordable housing, market rate housing, and workforce housing projects in New Mexico, Arizona, and West Texas.
Multifamily Housing Design Specializations
Meeting the need for housing
In 2025 alone, we added 500+ units of affordable housing to the Southwest. We minimize the hurdles on the way to more housing, help you get projects greenlit locally, and know 221(d)(4) and LIHTC financing.
Removing barriers for top talent
We help you attract and retain top talent with reduced travel time, community spaces, and comfortable, efficient design. Our portfolio of workforce housing has supported healthcare, manufacturing, and education projects across the Southwest.
More than a place to live
We help take your development portfolio to the next level – designing communities where people want to live, streamlining to establish in new markets, and scaling in current ones.
As a multidisciplinary architecture and design firm, we leverage our internal specialty teams to reduce the number of firms you need to coordinate with.
Collaboration with other disciplines in our firm brings more value to every project. Our multifamily housing design studio frequently collaborates with our commercial, healthcare, and education studios to design workforce housing and student housing.
Multifamily Communities Design Process
Our design process starts with understanding the financial and community goals for your development. We help our clients navigate site selection, planning, entitlements, and funding, so we can kick off a project sooner.
We leverage in-house expertise in advanced modeling techniques and planning to communicate design to stakeholders and the community at large, helping you navigate community engagement and the site selection process. Our in-house sustainability team ensures that our housing projects are sustainable and energy efficient, reducing your development’s operating costs.
We carefully design our housing projects to encourage pedestrian circulation and efficient traffic flow. We work closely with our in-house interior design and landscape architecture teams to design both indoor and outdoor spaces that people want to live in.
