LYT Architecture Competitors

CannonDesign is a different kind of design firm, where architecture, engineering, strategy, experience, innovation and social good converge to create meaningful impact. Named the 2024 #1 Best Workplace for Innovators in the U.S. by Fast Company, we take pride in our forward-thinking approach. At the heart of everything we do is Living-Centered Design, a bold commitment to using our talents to not just improve the world but to truly reshape it for the better. It’s more than a philosophy — it’s who we are, and it drives us to make a meaningful difference every day.

We work at all scales and in all sectors. We create transformative cultural, corporate, residential and other spaces that work in synchronicity with their surroundings. Zaha Hadid, founding partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Working with senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest is in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as the practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems that lead to experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Such a process often results in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms.

At Design Workshop, we shape places for future generations to thrive. Our team of over 160 employee-owners is committed to delivering demonstrable impact for the communities we serve. Through collaboration, research, creativity, and innovation, we help craft places of both real beauty and deep impact—stewarding meaningful engagement with spaces that shape futures. DW Legacy Design® is the defining element of our practice. It represents a commitment to rigorous standards of design inquiry that uncovers the right solution, not just the available one, for our clients, communities, and the environment. By assessing the possibilities of every project through four interconnected lenses: Environment, Community, Economics, and Art, we build a holistic framework for creating spaces that are resilient, meaningful, and enduring.
