Design Meets You
Whether working shoulder-to-shoulder or virtually from a thousand miles away, our multidisciplinary design process is interactive and collaborative. Bringing vision, perspective, and ideas together through shared experiences, we imagine, create, and improve with you every step of the way.
We believe in putting the “YOU” in user-centered design.
This is where the fun begins. It’s stretching the realm of possibilities, digging deep into your vision, and getting ideas on the table… literally.
We’ll research, explore, and discover with you as we consider how the occupants will interact with and within the space. This means listening, brainstorming, sketching, and detailed visioning sessions to set your project in motion.
What does this look like?
- Leveraging online collaboration tools
- Community engagement
- Using sustainability as the foundation
The goal is to make your dream real. With ideas vetted and chosen, you join us in the process of bringing your space to life.
To get it just right, we rely on constant communication with clients and partners, cohesive teamwork, and attention to detail. This transparent, collaborative approach to design makes for great experiences and successful projects.
What does this look like?
- Visualization — renderings and 3D animation
- Multidisciplinary team charrettes
- Refinement from every perspective
Built environments should continuously evolve to support changing community needs and reflect what’s been learned along the way.
This means engaging in research, studying how people use the spaces they occupy, and determining solutions to improve day-to-day life. Design that brings people into the process has the power to positively impact the well-being of those who encounter it.
What does this look like?
- Post occupancy evaluations
- Research partnerships
- Constant curiosity
