Built different. On purpose.

FOUNDED BY 9 TSU GRADUATES

In 2018, nine architects and engineers from Tennessee State University started CSBD with a clear mission: create a firm where BIPOC designers could thrive and deliver world-class work. Today, we bring perspectives often missing in AEC—cultural intelligence, lived experience, and a commitment to designing spaces where everyone feels seen. Our ownership culture means we step up when things get hard. We don't hand off your project to junior staff. Principals stay involved from first conversation to final walkthrough.
