Welcome to SH|R Studios, where one will find a streamlined, tight-knit group of dauntless designers with considerable skills, breadth and depth of knowledge, and a sustained enthusiasm for play. This combination of professional expertise and a bit of whimsy makes us a firm that our clients trust and enjoy working with. That relationship, to us, is the critical ingredient of a highly collaborative design process of exploration and creativity.

Our team shares a love for the natural world that includes animals and people—we hold a special place of deep regard for those who work tirelessly on behalf of the amazing wild places and species with whom we share this world. We believe that their stories, passions and perspectives need to be shared broadly so that others may become informed and inspired participants in conservation. We are motivated by a deep conviction that there is nothing more powerful than one-on-one experiences that capture the imagination, and that connect us with one another and with LIFE.

We are many things – artists, poets, storytellers and explorers – but mostly we are a dedicated group of innovators who get things built.

• We work with you to create places and experiences that are rich with meaning and opportunities for visitor engagement. Our tools include workshops, design facilitation, research, modeling, sketching – and face-to-face conversations either at the project site or through digital media.

• We question and communicate constantly to help you derive efficient and humane operational strategies that help the project, its animal and plant residents, and the community to thrive.

• We harness both technology and ecology to develop innovative solutions that sustain our relationship with Nature.
  

The world in which your projects exist is constantly changing as worldwide demographics shift, new patterns of leisure and learning emerge, and new realms of knowledge and experience are unveiled.  We are, therefore, constantly striving to search out and incorporate innovative approaches and practices that truly engage and inspire both visitors and staff.

To accomplish this, the Studio is structured as a core group of highly-experienced designers who work in regular partnership with technical experts and local professionals to meet the specific needs of each project – wherever it happens to be.  This combination of skills ensures that each project melds an enduring vision for the future with the in-depth specialized knowledge and local presence necessary to bring such projects to fruition.
