ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Our design process is based on experience in construction, love of material expression, and a fundamental belief that architecture is about people. We believe in an expression that is rooted in practicality but inspirational to both the eye and the mind. We believe that in order to tie these pieces together, architecture must have a strong concept derived from a BIG IDEA. This idea comes from working closely with clients, being observant to the place we are designing in, and being open to inspiration finding us.

We use technology to aid (but not define) the design process. By using parametric and Building Information Modeling tools we can iterate ideas faster to sharpen concepts and then coordinate more accurately. 3D modeling software can aid the visualization of ideas for our clients and for ourselves. Sophisticated modeling software allows us to drive and optimize the performance of the building. By embedding Information into the Building Information Model we can facilitate the management of the project to make sure everyone is on the same page - in real time which helps to ensure accurate documentation and integration of the information from the design team into the construction process.
