Congrats to the City of Olive Branch on the grand opening of the all new Animal Shelter!

This is a wonderful milestone for the city, the staff, the volunteers, and the many pets who will be cared for here. We wish Olive Branch continued success as this new facility begins serving the community and helping more animals find safe, loving, happy homes.

Well done to everyone who helped make it possible.

Buildings can be ordinary. Or they can be a business strategy.
We get to work alongside talented people every day who pour care, skill, and intention into creating places that add energy to life and strengthen the businesses behind them. If you are investing serious time and capital, your building should work just as hard as you do. Why be boring when bold is an option?

Whether you're thinking about a current build or something in the future, let's talk about it.

Lamplighter Montessori School Recognized by AIA Tennessee

We are honored to share that Lamplighter Montessori School has been recognized by the AIA Tennessee Design Awards Jury for excellence in architectural design.

The jury noted that what appears simple in plan becomes rich and playful in experience, praising the thoughtful use of color, light, murals, and furniture to create a joyful and imaginative learning environment for both children and adults. They also recognized how modest architectural moves, achieved with discipline and care, produced meaningful impact within a careful budget.

This project reflects our belief that intentional design can shape powerful everyday experiences. We are grateful to Lamplighter Montessori for their guidance, trust and true partnership, and to AIA Tennessee for this meaningful recognition.

It was a beautiful morning for a 🏃‍♂️ 🏃 🏃‍♀️

Jenna Kern and her team at the Desoto County Dream Center dialed up perfect weather and designed an enjoyable course through Silo Square for the DC Race 5K.

Ruthie and Scott dug deep and finished strong for a great cause!

The DeSoto Central High School band treated racers to a surprise concert to wrap up the occasion. A strong sound of happy tunes … and extra bonus points for the designshop connection hanging out in the trumpet line 🎺 🎵

The team rocked out with Cindi Lauper's drummer, and learned some life lessons along the way. A simple rim tap can take you to another universe. And an act of kindness even farther.
