We begin each project, small or large by getting to know the end user. Above all, understanding an organization’s culture is key to creating a solution that will increase productivity, promote well-being, and stimulate growth. It is important for us to understand your values and goals, so that we can design an environment that showcases your unique identity. We understand that the generational span in today’s workforce is wide, and that the most effective built workplace environments accommodate everyone, from Baby Boomers to Millennials.  By interviewing clients and discussing their current and future expectations, we can begin putting the pieces together as we create dynamic and flexible environments.

Conceptual planning is critical to good design. We use tools such as sketches, diagrams, to communicate concepts and preliminary ideas as a means to determining a project’s ultimate direction. During this phase, we begin materializing ideas, organizing program requirements, and space planning.

Our designes are skilled at assessing client’s needs. We plan strategically to accommodate for the established program needs of the client and work within building code and ADA requirements.  Knowing that function, adjacencies, focal points and flow of work and traffic are top priority in space planning.

Material and finish selection involves a number of considerations, including trends, color forecasts, performance requirements and color psychology.  Identifying the client’s budget and branding scope is considered first. No matter what the design budget, we always stretch our imaginations to come up with a dynamic solutions that brings to life a visual experience. The goal is to design with products that are low maintenance and esthetically timeless.
