OUR WHY

Inspired by the river that runs through Grand Rapids, Michigan (our founding location), Whitewater Design is life-giving, fast-moving, unifying, and deeply impactful over time. We believe in collaboration that moves mountains. Our work with clients and partners deepens the appreciation of place, gives back to the environment, and enriches the human experience. Guided by the dynamic flow of technology and innovation, we are focused on mass timber design, speed, affordability, and long-term value for the people and communities we serve. Our services include mass timber and sustainability advising, campus and community planning, architecture, interiors, and change management.
