We are a team of designers driven to shape the world of human experiences. We pursue thoughtful, lasting environments and position our work at the intersection between buildings, communities, and the people within them.
Design Ethos
Our best work begins with genuine relationships. We listen deeply to understand the people, cultures, and communities our clients serve, recognizing that every project is an opportunity to create meaningful connections. By inviting clients into the design journey and fostering trust, curiosity, and open dialogue, we shape environments that reflect shared values, enrich everyday experiences, and create lasting, positive impact.

Expertise
Every STG project demands two things: innovative design and technical discipline. Our team consistently brings a command of the technical realities of building and construction along with an equal commitment to creative ambition and a willingness to question inherited assumptions. A purely technical or data-driven project quickly becomes stale and forgettable. By contrast, a beautiful design can be easily lost if it struggles to become a reality. The most successful projects maintain balance between these two objectives, where nothing is lost in the translation from the conceptual to the concrete.
Legacy
For over 50 years, STG Design has partnered with people and programs to create places that drive growth, strengthen operations, and generate lasting value. Founded in 1976, the firm has evolved alongside its clients, building a reputation for aligning design excellence with business strategy and measurable outcomes. At its core, STG's legacy is one of partnership and performance. By integrating architecture, interiors, strategic planning, and analytical rigor, we help clients make confident decisions, maximize investments, and create environments that deliver lasting business and community impact. Today, as an employee-owned practice, STG Design continues to build on that legacy, creating places where organizations thrive and communities prosper.
Culture + Community
STG has always known that great design comes from great people. Here, we support a culture where professionals across generations and disciplines collaborate together. This approach is reinforced by STG's employee-owned structure and its emphasis on mentorship, teamwork, and continuous growth. That same spirit of collaboration extends beyond the studio. Through long-standing partnerships with organizations like Thinkery, Community First! Village, Boys & Girls Clubs, Meals on Wheels, and The Trail Foundation, STG has helped shape schools, workplaces, civic spaces, and mixed-use developments that strengthen the communities we serve.
Today, STG's people remain its greatest asset. The diverse talents and perspectives, paired with a culture of service and shared ownership, continue to drive the firm's legacy of design that elevates both clients and communities.
Sustainability
Our mission is to foster a culture of environmental stewardship that enhances the health and well-being of future generations through integrating evidence-based design practices with resilient solutions, analysis and innovations. We as a firm commit to be a part of the solution to the climate crisis. STG Design is proud to support the AIA 2030 Challenge, an effort to transform the practice of architecture and the built environment in a way that is holistic. We believe that global stewardship is the privilege and responsibility of every design professional.
Design Technology
By leveraging the latest technology, data-driven processes, and industry-leading digital tools, we help clients make better decisions, reduce risk, and achieve more successful projects. From early design and site analysis through construction and project closeout, our integrated tools and workflows provide measurable insight towards improved project efficiency, meeting sustainability goals, maintaining schedule, and securing long-term value for the project.
