Please take a moment
to look around and familiarize yourself with our firm. We hope this
site allows you to get a glimpse of who and what we are. We have presented
several current or recently completed projects for you to see. If you
have any questions or would like to discuss your architectural needs,
we invite you to contact us.
As a full-service
firm, we strive to balance and meet three different, but complementary,
parts of design:
· The
creative/aesthetic/technical component of
design
· The business/fiscal component of design
· The social/learning component of design
The creative/aesthetic/technical
component is what most people think of when the word architecture is
mentioned. The founder of our firm has received national, state, and
local design awards for this creative/aesthetic component, and we continue
to hold creativity in high regard. In addition to this aesthetic component,
we commit much of our resources to providing our client with a building
that is thoroughly thought out and detailed so that--as simple and obvious
as it may sound-- "works".
The business/fiscal
component is what may people take for granted, but which sometimes is
only discovered late in the process to not be "necessarily so".
We work very hard to balance the design and the budget. From the earliest
concepts right through construction drawings we monitor the budget and
report on the budget to the client. All of our recent projects for non-profit
clients have been bid within budget and had minimal change orders during
construction. We do not use exotic secret methods to do this, but rather,
as in the TV advertisement, "we earn it" through diligence.
The third component,
social/learning, is the most difficult to describe, but is the most
exciting one of all. It is the process of involvement by the client
group in the design whereby every individual on the design team comes
to more fully appreciate and understand how the buildings of the proposed
development can best serve the Client.
