Fresh perspective drives meaningful outcomes.

We ask the right questions, dig deep, and are alert to new possibilities. Our curiosity reframes problems in productive ways and drives compelling outcomes.

Good design begins with investigative thinking.

Both compelling concepts and flawless execution require a high level of intentionality at every step of the process and an attentiveness to new ideas and perspectives that emerge along the way.

Iterative processes lead to stronger solutions.

Initial design scenarios, while imperfect, clarify the functional and architectural problems to be solved. It is only by tenaciously drawing through the project multiple times that a conceptually clear, functionally resolved, and visually compelling solution can be found.

Pragmatism can lead to the unexpected.

In order to meaningfully innovate, we assess the issues to tackle with fresh eyes and an unwavering focus on the problems to tackle. Satisfying spatial solutions in one targeted area will result in the discovery of productive ways to understand and tackle other aspects of the unfolding design.

Since 1853 we have embraced opportunities to work alongside clients, partners and colleagues who dare to push boundaries and pursue bold “what if” dreams. Enamored with architecture, our founder Sheldon Smith pursued unique design opportunities throughout the 1800s that has carried our firm forward for 170 years through a diverse portfolio of projects found across the globe. Whether it’s creating a space to heal patients, advancing research and discovery, inspiring through learning environments, building businesses or protecting resources, our goal is to design a better future for everyone.  This promise comes alive through a diverse team of experts that balance imagination, innovation and technical excellence to design solutions to meet the needs of tomorrow and beyond. By creating partnerships with clients that share our goals, values, and visions, we are yielding outstanding results in shaping the future for generations to come.  

At Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH), we guide superior performance through unparalleled experience. Our collective knowledge provides us with a unique lens to investigate and explain failures, help codify standards today, and innovate the future. By leveraging our diverse technical expertise, we deliver integrated engineering solutions to address our clients’ most daunting challenges.

In 1956, Howard Simpson, Werner Gumpertz, and Frank Heger founded SGH. The MIT professors and renowned engineers used their passion and expertise to build the guiding philosophies SGH lives by to this day. They established a foundation that would guide the firm’s future generations—an unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity.

To deliver buildings that function measurably beyond our clients’ expectations, we approach every project as a long-term opportunity to invest in the broadest possible stakeholder group. Regardless of their use or source of funding, all buildings are ultimately civic projects because they are so capital intensive, unignorable, and enduring, that they inevitably impact the lives of every person in their community. The more people take ownership of a building, the more resilient it will be as its use inevitably evolves.

Founded in 1983, Rafael Viñoly Architects is an internationally renowned architectural firm with projects spanning six continents. The practice’s defining characteristic has been its ability to elevate the purpose of the buildings it designs to the level of inspiration. It has consistently achieved this by driving typological transformation, and embracing and leveraging the public dimensions of every construction project.

Based in New York City, the uniquely diverse work the firm has completed includes award-winning museums, performing arts centers, convention centers, courthouses, athletic facilities, hotels, hospitals, laboratories, recreational venues, residential complexes, and commercial, and educational facilities. Projects range in scale from laboratory casework to airports and large urban commercial and institutional master plans. The firm has also completed several projects involving the restoration and expansion of buildings of significant historical and architectural value.
