JUST 2.0 LABEL
The Just program, created by the International Future Living Institute, is a voluntary disclosure tool for organizations to enhance internal discussions, policies, and procedures. It aims to establish a common language and measurement framework for social justice issues, reinforcing SMRT’s commitment to transparency, equity, equality, and social justice.Â
COMPANY CULTURE
We’re not just a company; we’re a team of passionate individuals united by a shared vision. Our culture is focused on getting the most from each other and the spaces we design together. Collaboration is the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to not only create exceptional spaces but also to foster innovation, nurture relationships, and tackle challenges head-on.
It's always a good time when we come together to brainstorm new designs!

HOW WE WORK
The problems we solve are complex and challenging. We operate on a simple principle: we’re smart and inventive, together. We advise, guide, and advocate from a position of knowledge, experience, and constant learning. We use the design process to effect positive change. Our work together results in smart decisions and successful outcomes.
LEGACY
SMRT’s roots reach back to 1884, when John Calvin Stevens FAIA, nationally acclaimed for his “shingle style” designs, established his architecture firm. A versatile artist and architect, Stevens saw no separation of design from construction, of beauty from practicality. Today, the creative challenge of exploring opportunities between idea and implementation continues to inspire and guide the growth and evolution of our multi-disciplinary practice. Our ability to simplify the complex, collaborate across disciplines, and solve problems together carries our legacy forward.
