Profile

DIGSAU practices contemporary architecture, urbanism, and environmental design. We are a studio of more than forty individuals united in the creation of resonant, enduring, and purposeful buildings for arts and culture groups, civic and government entities, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and urban developers. 

 

Our diverse backgrounds and longstanding partnerships with expert consultants, trades, and craftspeople enable us to deliver innovative projects across a variety of types, scales, and circumstances. We have a broad view of architecture, how it is made, who makes it, and who it serves. We work together rather than alone, and foster a culture of open dialogue to ensure that all voices are heard and acknowledged. 

 

We approach every project with enthusiasm and intensity, engaging our clients in an energizing design process that empowers them to bring physical form to their missions and visions. We are deeply committed to collaboration at all levels and highly engaged in the construction process in order to create work of the highest quality, craft, and function.
