Company Description:
William McDonough + Partners is a design firm of 40 architects, planners, designers, and support staff. In 1994, the practice was relocated from New York to Charlottesville when William McDonough was named dean of the University of Virginia's School of Architecture. From the Charlottesville studio, the firm established a leading role in sustainable design through a diverse range of notable projects. In 2006, we opened a studio in San Francisco, California to strengthen our solid presence in the Bay Area. More recently, in response to the growing interest in Cradle to Cradle in the Netherlands, we opened a studio in Amsterdam, from which the practice will base its ongoing work in the Netherlands and the EU. Despite the distances between the three locations, the firm operates as one office with daily interaction between the studios. This approach allows us to combine the capacity of a large firm with the agility of a small one.
