About Us

Our diverse portfolio of projects includes work of all types and scales across the globe, and is based on our core commitment to enriching the built environment by creating projects with social, environmental, and aesthetic integrity. The basis of the work is a collective, rigorous exploration of fit and form,driven by ideas about function, place, the form-making process, and the role of design in human settlement. Knowledge and understanding of larger community and environmental issues intensifies the meaningfulness of CICO’s work. Members of the firm routinely provide leadership in civic, sociological, and sustainability initiatives.
This commitment allows us to bring a unique perspective to every project that fosters innovation, relevance, and timelessness in the work.
