DLR Group

DLR Group is a fully employee-owned integrated design firm, with all company stock held within an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Employee ownership has been a fundamental part of our corporate structure since 1978.

Our values have been the bedrock of our success for over 50 years and continue to shape our decision-making process. These values represent what we stand for, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the foundation that upholds our commitment to enhancing the human experience through design.

We approach every project with unwavering dedication from start to finish. Collaboration and knowledge sharing lie at the heart of our design philosophy. We believe in sharing our expertise with one another, our peers, and our communities to foster an engaged and inclusive culture.

We possess an innate curiosity that drives us to push boundaries and explore the realm of possibilities. Through design thinking, we strive to meet the diverse needs of our clients, communities, and planet. Throughout this journey, we celebrate both collective and individual successes.

Fundamentally, we prioritize the stewardship of our planet. We recognize that the built environment we create has an impact on the environment, and it is our responsibility to mitigate that impact. Whether through reduction, offsetting, or other means, we are committed to preserving and revitalizing our planet's resources, ensuring a high quality of life for future generations.

We embody integrity and stand up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. Ethical conduct and honesty define every interaction we have. We understand that everything we do and produce reflects not only ourselves as individual designers, but also the collective reputation of our firm.

Design excellence is only achievable through collaborative efforts. It goes beyond coordination; it is about true collaboration. By bringing together our integrated design teams—comprised of architects, interior designers, engineers, planners, researchers, and more—we deliver design excellence to our clients.
