The Spectrum

With The Spectrum, we look at projects from different perspectives to arrive at the big picture.

Building upon the principles of New Urbanism, we developed the Torti Gallas Spectrum to create a framework for designing sustainable communities. This holistic approach considers design solutions from three distinct yet inextricably related perspectives: natural systems, the built environment, and people.

So all our work is grounded in the simultaneous application of principles that promote environmental, economic, and human sustainability.
