believes that innovative design is the result of understanding the client’s goals and desires, the building type, context, the various constraints inherit in the design process, and the synthesis of these factors. This attitude allows us to create high performance buildings that exceed our client’s goals and enhance the human experience.
We get involved early to learn as much as we can about a client’s business or organization. We believe in providing strong leadership to the entire team including the client, project designers, and engineers. We believe in creating lasting quality and value as seen through the eyes of the owner and the users. We believe in the inherent creativity in all people. We find the common ground between team members by facilitating a participatory design process.
We believe that a designer must help his client understand as much as possible about alternative design solutions at the earliest possible stages of design. This information must be available to make the most informed decisions possible regarding the project under consideration. These decisions will ultimately have a significant impact on a facility’s organization and planning, long into the future.
Once those decisions have been made, we believe that the project designer must himself be able to
understand and help his client understand how each building component can work together to offer the most effective use of interrelated building elements. The close coordination of all design elements, from colors, finishes, furniture selection, to mechanical system design, can greatly enhance the character of the space, minimize maintenance requirements, and greatly enhance the enjoyment of the space by its occupants. We believe that this can only be achieved by all members of the design team, which includes members of our client’s staff, working closely together toward a common goal.
We emphasize the appropriateness of a design to the project’s context and clients needs. Our design is responsive to the various cultural, natural, and architectural contexts which will hopefully lead to a unique identity for each project. offers a fresh and creative approach to design. The firm has a positive approach which invites client’s participation and interaction. Through project management and design, we believe that our primary objective is to synthesize our client’s short and long term desires and goals to create an exciting and effective facility that will serve the client into the future. |
