Firm Profile & QualificationsAi Collaborative, Inc.

AiC was originally incorporated in 1990, currently operates as a Florida ‘S'-Corporation and qualifies as a woman owned business. Centrally located in the historic Ybor City section of Tampa, AiC is capable of managing projects throughout the State of Florida and the Southeast due to our close proximity to I-75, I-4 and the Tampa International Airport. AiC maintains architectural licenses in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Rhode Island. We take great pride in having built our business by providing an unparalleled level of service to our clients, which is why 90 percent of our work is procured through repeat or referrals.PhilosophyOur core philosophy at Ai Collaborative is to combine the disciplines of Architecture and Interior Design in an open and collaborative work environment; resulting in a superior product in terms of functionality, aesthetics and cost effectiveness. We have found that in projects produced by traditional architectural firms, often times the relationships and quality of the interior spaces is of secondary importance to the study of exterior architectural forms and massing. AiC places equal importance on the design of interior spaces and how their relationships affect the overall architectural design and experience. Our collaborative design approach of "transdisciplinary problem solving" which utilizes the varied skillsets of architects, interior designers and our consulting engineers results in a superior end product. The firm principals of AiC maintain a personal, "hands on" style of management from project inception throughout completion thereby assuring a level of design consistency, control, and accountability.
