Our interior design department knows best how to first listen and understand your goals and budgets, then how to maximize your investment. We work hard to find the right solutions to achieve your aesthetic desires while balancing form and function. We understand what products are available, where to find them, and how to implement them into your design. Our job is to hear your vision and to design a solution that balances all your goals. We want your design project to speak to all that experience it.
Planning and Development
We can provide site analysis, access, circulation, parking layouts for your projects. This is often the first step in any project but could be the first step in deciding a direction of a project. We work hard to build strong relationships with local building officials, to understand local development guidelines, and of course, placemaking is a primary goal. Looking at projects holistically to provide our clients with the best solutions is critical.
Energy Consultation
This is the first step to assess how much energy your home wastes and helps to evaluate what measures you can implement to reduce this consumption. In other words, an energy audit will provide a list of things that can be fixed in your home to reduce energy bills and increase comfort.
Programming
Each project we work on is a relationship. We work hard to understand you and your priorities – this is the first step in programming a project. Listening is our most valuable tool in creating a design that is just right for you. Using your objectives and goals for function, space, and budget we develop designs that align all these requirements in innovative, highly functional, and buildable ways as possible.
Project Management
Our goal with every project is to make it as low stress for our clients as possible. We are able to walk with you through the process, tell you what to expect, plan to reduce the surprises, and help you through the unexpected. Our firm has over 100 years of combined experience, we have not seen it all, but we are getting close. This helps us to know what is coming on the horizon and to provide you with the best experience possible.
Structural Design
We strive to be your one point of contact for all things design. This includes structural design services in-house and through our many talented consultants. We know how to plan for practical building solutions to achieve your innovative design solutions. We work as a team, each bringing our expertise to the same goals for your project. This close cooperation provides for designs that are the best value for our clients, in other words, we design buildings that simply work.
Specification Consulting
A well-prepared and coordinated specification communicates what the project client is buying from the contractor. It deals with scope, quality, activity, and responsibility, and as such complements the contract documents. During construction, the specification is used to check the conformance of the contractors’ work to the goals set in the design stage.
