RATIO DESIGN

CHICAGO

 RATIO is an international, interdisciplinary design practice offering services in architecture, preservation, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design, and graphic design. We operate as one design firm with a shared mission, culture and purpose in Indianapolis, IN; Champaign, IL; Raleigh, NC; Chicago, IL; and Denver, CO.

 

We believe that great design starts with trust – in the creative process, in the people behind our work, and most of all in the relationships we have with our clients. From this comes collaboration, understanding, a passion for success and ultimately design that answers challenges and moves the spirit.

PLACEMAKING

We build the capacity for people, context, and good design to share a universal place and story. Our work enriches the human experience by fusing history into new legacies.

The days of designing for a discrete project are numbered. While creating socially sustainable environments that improve the health and well-being of community members is now a given, today’s most forward-thinking architects are finding it their mission to go beyond their project in terms of both space and time—to consider, and even encourage, land use patterns in the surrounding area, and to anticipate, and even influence, future events and unexpected consequences. Best practice has become to design not only for the footprint of the project and its surrounding area but also for the timeline of the property and the people who will use it in years to come.
