Core and Shell Design

Placemaking from the Ground Up

New developments have the potential to enrich their surrounding communities. By acknowledging regional character and local needs while leveraging thoughtful placemaking strategies, these ground-up projects blend office, retail, residential, entertainment to create vibrant mixed-use spaces for people to gather. At Cushing Terrell, we utilize a human-centered design approach with strategies that carefully orchestrate elements of sociability, walkability, and convenience.

The core and shell method of development offers flexibility as final space details often are left up to the tenant/s to best determine their needs. Our multidisciplinary design team — spanning markets, skill sets, and localities — offers the full scope of services to ensure core and shell projects are designed to the highest standards of building performance, cohere with other structures nearby, and can stand the test of time with quality materials and a considered aesthetic approach.

Bringing You the Best In…

Energy Services

Our Cushing Terrell team will collaborate with you to identify ways to conserve energy and increase efficiency. This can be achieved through a number of strategies that enhance building systems and building performance, resulting in cost savings as well as increased human comfort.

Through advanced analysis and computer modeling, Cushing Terrell offers a comprehensive evaluation of facility energy use, from individual systems to entire business campuses. Your energy audit will do more than simply highlight energy sources usage, it will help develop ways to minimize consumption and expenses while maximizing reliability and revealing cost-effective, energy-saving solutions.

Interior Design

Indoor spaces have a huge influence on our health, well-being, productivity, ability to learn, and so much more. Cushing Terrell’s interior design experts harness this influence not only to create more successful spaces for you, but also to improve your daily life. We create interior spaces that successfully meet the unique requirements of the end users and enhance the human experience. We support projects across markets, allowing us to bring learnings from a wide range of building types to your industrial designs.

Sustainability

Our vision for sustainable design is a balance between the built and natural environments that will provide a healthy future for our clients, colleagues, and communities. We wholeheartedly accept our responsibility and leadership role to advance sustainable design and building practices. We believe in holistic environments that maximize systems and synergies and minimize environmental impacts while protecting the health and well-being of the people who occupy those environments. As an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council and proud signatory of the AIA 2030 Commitment, we’re working to achieve carbon-neutral buildings by 2030, and we bring this expertise to each project we take on.

We are excited to engage our sustainable design and engineering experts in conversations with you to identify opportunities for energy efficiency, cost savings, environmental stewardship, and certification.
