Developing evidence-based design solutions to inform smart decision-making and resource allocation
Research identifies opportunities and impacts outcomes. We leverage data and weave primary research into our projects to help clients maximize their design budgets and shape the future of their built environments. Our approach combines data intelligence; high rigor, validity, and efficacy; cross-pollination; and thought leadership to help ensure our clients’ projects work harder for them. […]

One of the many ways the renovation of Hillman Library at @pittofficial improves its functionality, accessibility, and welcome is through the new entry addition which creates a street level entry, better visibility into the building and a better pedestrian experience for students and the community. Removing the barrier wall (seen in the before pic) cleared the way to establish `parklets` along the perimeter--spaces to sit and relax and study. Many thanks to @dezeen for its recent feature on this project. Link in bio to read more in Dezeen or you can head to gbbn.com to read our full project case study.

Our Canstruction 2026 build is complete! Inspired by the throwback game Hungry Hungry Hippos and @cincinnatizoo’s hippo celebs Fiona and Fritz, our sculpture contains 3850 cans and highlights that everyone deserves access to food that is nutritious and joyful. All builds are on display at @freestorefb 3401 Rosenthal Way in Cincinnati. All cans will be donated to Freestore Foodbank who then distributes them to their local food pantries. Let’s work together to eliminate food insecurity in our communities #architecture #design #canstruction2026

Feeling better is what a visit to the doctor is all about. It can start the moment you enter the building. The recently completed Eastgate Medical Office Building for @cincychildrens is a prime example. From easily finding the front door, to navigating the space to the warm wood on the central stair, the soft curving forms, and the constellations embedded in the ceiling, the building is welcoming and full of moments of discovery and distraction #architecture #design #healthcare #health #pediatrics

The renovation brough enhanced patron comfort, daylight, and connection the the neighborhood they call home #arts #performance #liveperformance #livetheater #performancevenue #regionaltheater #theater #theatre #theatrelife #architecture #design
