SITELAB Architecture + Design
SITELAB’s award-winning, socially engaged design work features networks of collaborators with diverse expertise and viewpoints. The firm’s regionally-focused work addresses resource scarcity by redeploying abundant resources, such as existing building stock and underutilized landscapes in collaboration with non-profit and community-based partners. The work has had broad impact in the region, addressing issues such as creative placemaking, food insecurity, building material reuse, and youth empowerment.
