Cedar Rapids, IA

Discover Our Cedar Rapids Studio. A Collaborative Haven in a Delightful Downtown Setting.

A lot of the work that comes out of our Cedar Rapids architecture and engineering studio is work you might not notice — but its the stuff that makes life good. The projects we take on directly impact quality of life, whether we’re helping a manufacturer feed the world, designing learning spaces to boost retention, helping a hospital address a roof failure, or making neighborhoods more walkable.

We’re a humble, inquisitive, heads-down group that cares more about making a difference than showing off. Our team is a great mix of employees with decades of experience and those still early in their careers.

Top 5 Reasons we love Our cedar rapids studio

We’re steps away from great coffee, delicious breakfast, excellent lunch destinations, and a fabulous downtown library.
There’s nothing like the experience of downtown Cedar Rapids. Beautiful ginkgo leaves everywhere, public art, and sometimes the sweet smell of Crunch Berries wafting through the air (if the wind is moving in the right direction)!
The office isn’t spread across several floors. We work together in a cozy, comfortable environment where everyone you need is nearby.
Our space lets in so much natural light! No matter where you are, you get to enjoy views and daylight.
Staff at every level get the support they need. If you want to book a hotel room, order office supplies, cater an event, or find a place to hold a meeting, we have people who can help.
