OUR MISSION
At Hinge, our mission is to discover, honor, and express the true essence of a place and the humans that create and engage with it. We creatively integrate both the functional and the poetic.
OUR VISION
At Hinge, our vision is a world in which no structure, no thing, no one with value is discarded and in which each can safely and bravely express its essential nature.
OUR CORE VALUES
Practical
We utilize what’s available for the greatest effect. We believe small simple solutions can have as much (and sometimes more) impact than large complex ones.
Discovery
We discover the essential nature of what is and reveal the beauty behind its true essence.
Essential
We discern where our love (e.g. time, attention, energy, resources) is needed most and will make the most difference.
Listening
We listen deeply to our clients, the spaces we design, each other, and ourselves to discern what wants to be.
Enduring
We make choices that provide lasting value.
Playful
We believe the best work grows out of open-mindedness, curiosity, and a willingness to not take ourselves too seriously. Play allows us to unhinge from what is expected and invent something new.
