Sasaki
Interdisciplinary architecture, planning, landscape and design firm founded in 1953, with about 300 professionals across five offices working on higher education, healthcare, workplace and civic projects.
Sasaki is an interdisciplinary architecture, planning, landscape, and design firm founded in 1953 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The practice employs approximately 300 professionals across five offices - Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and Shanghai - and works on built-environment projects spanning higher education, healthcare, corporate workplaces, civic spaces, and residential developments. Its stated mission is to deliver authentic, equitable, and inspiring places with lasting positive impacts on communities.
The firm's work is organised around six core disciplines - architecture, interior design, planning and urban design, space planning, landscape architecture, and civil engineering - supplemented by graphic design and an active research practice. Projects are handled through a collaborative, interdisciplinary methodology that has been central to the firm since its founding. Employees work across these disciplines on complex design challenges, and the firm cites a commitment to sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Beyond client work, Sasaki supports research and community engagement through two initiatives. The Sasaki Foundation, established in 2000, funds community-led research through yearly grants. The Incubator, a 5,000 square-foot coworking space on the Sasaki campus, hosts like-minded organisations to foster collaboration. The firm has been in operation for more than seven decades.
