DELIVERING ON-DEMAND INTELLIGENCE



We founded the studio to help real estate intensive organizations modernize data, integrate AI, and shape future services for better outcomes in our lived environments—improved business performance, better experience, and resilient communities and enterprises.
We believe the built environment is a layered social, physical, digital fabric—one that is driven by the interplay among people, design, economics, policy, technology, services, and infrastructure.

To negotiate the increasing complexity of AI, climate change, urban transformation, or market shifts, organizations need better data foundations, richer analytic models, and more intelligent services to create healthier, more engaging, more productive, or more social places.
We provide the solutions you need to negotiate the complexity of our phsyical, digital, and virtual lived world.

Places are valuable because people use and desire them. Navigating change and complexity demand a much richer ability to model and forecast behavior. Successful strategies will be grounded in ever deeper integration of behavior analytics into planning, design, and operations.

Without data there is no intelligence. Today’s built environment data is profoundly fragmented, of dubious quality, living across many systems, and managed differently in every organization. Success starts with a secure, fit-for-purpose, data foundation.

Plan for Collective, Diverse, Adaptive Intelligence
Plan for Collective, Diverse, Adaptive Intelligence
The future will not be “One AI to rule them all,” but a dynamic, diverse, evolving ecosystem of human, robotic, and agentic intelligences that will need to negotiate change together. Planning for intelligence means expecting constant adaptation among people, systems, and agents.

Speed to Learning is Competitive Advantage
Speed to Learning is Competitive Advantage
Competitive advantage used to be anchored in scale, or efficiency, or capability, or IP. In the new world it is how fast you can learn, and how well you can embed effective learning into your organization or portfolio. You must design learning into everything you do.
