Our professional services include feasibility studies, programming, space planning, architecture, interior architecture, construction documentation and administration through occupancy. Our office has consciously developed a diverse project portfolio. This project range benefits our clients, allowing us to transpose innovative solutions and problem-solving across project types. The firm's practice is broadened and strengthened by design concepts that maximize each project's potential.Nearly all of our projects go through a public design review process, requiring extensive city, committee and neighborhood interaction. We find ways to embrace that involvement, weaving it into our building designs which ultimately become a source of pride for the entire community. By listening and responding to concerns, we widen the circle of ownership using the project to help reinforce communities.We believe in a holistic approach to design which allows a balance between the current needs of our clients and a respect for the future needs of the planet. We understand that sustainable development is an integrated process involving all members of the project team and resulting in a high quality product with minimal impact on the environment and maximum return on investment.
