our process

Guiding clients from initial vision, through design, construction and into occupancy.

listen

We can only serve by first listening to our client’s goals and vision. Taking the time to exchange enables us to establish a clear road map that will serve as a thread to guide the project through completion. We will also gather information related to the community and environment.

1

create

Conceptualizing the vision and refining it through the different phases of design are key. Cross-disciplinary collaboration plays a central part in reaching the objectives through the form and function while considering time, budget, comfort, efficiency. Quality control and milestone client review are also integral parts of the creative process.

2

execute

We assist the client through the selection of a contractor and through the construction of the project. Our goal is to be a valuable resource to the team, while helping the client to verify that the built project properly reflects the design.

design philosophy

  • Our goal is to optimize the sizes, location, organization and flows between and through the spaces in a way that serves the occupants, its tasks and the function of every space.

  • In a hyper connected virtual and increasingly me-centric world, we believe that it is our role as building designer to create spaces, flows and experiences that inspire people to connect with one another and to the physical world around them in a way that brings purpose and the desire to be with and help others.

  • We believe that the created natural world is an unending source of inspiration for us but also for people interacting with our spaces. We are humbled when studying the complexity and beauty that lies around us. We aim to allow people to interact, be inspired and humbled by natural light and nature’s beauty.

design philosophy

  • Our primary goal is to apply trusted design processes, rooted in true engineering and scientific principles to create integrated and purposeful design solutions.

  • Good engineering should keep a space safe, functional, and comfortable while at the same enhancing the esthetic of the space. We see every project as a unique opportunity to apply reliable solutions in creative and innovative ways that bring true value to each space.

  • In todays’ world, there are many possible solutions for each individual design problem. It is our role as engineers to identify the simple solutions, which will be more cost effective, sustainable, and manageable for our clients on the long term.
