People & Culture
"Individually we are one drop. Together we are an ocean." - Ryunosuke Satoro
We believe that the creation of a supportive office culture in which each of us can continue to grow and learn creates the best platform to do great, innovative work.

Active Whiteboard Groups
The Whiteboard Groups
The Whiteboard Groups are employee-led common interest groups within Handel Architects. Anyone can start one and everyone is encouraged to participate. These groups encourage a cross-pollination of ideas through both intellectual and social meet-ups. They also serve as a platform to impact the way our offices are run. Active Whiteboard Groups include:

Developing the "Whole Architect"
We believe that by fostering individual growth within a supportive office culture, we can achieve more collectively.
We have developed a goals based-method to expose everybody to as broad a spectrum of the design process as possible, from early conceptual exercises to construction documentation and administration.

Outside the office
We encourage our employees to participate in a variety of social functions, sports leagues, volunteer programs, and industry events. We believe that an active, engaged team will get along better and ultimately create better work.
