As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.
- Sir. Norman Foster
Our personalized and relaxed service is loaded with sincerity, transparency and integrity. We will talk to you with simple words and take you by the hand throughout the whole journey.
Interior design and Interior Architecture:
For homes, retail, restaurants, commercial, hospitality and office spaces.
Tenant Improvements:
Space Planning.
BIM modeling:
We use cutting edge technology as a tool to accurately and expeditiously resolve the problems inherent in your program, and deliver your project on time and on budget. We design organically, and put the tools to work for us.
In-house visualization:
We produce virtual 3D environments as we design so that you can be certain of the product you are getting. We do this work in-house very efficiently, without the need to outsource the work to other countries.
Feasibility:
We study the best use for the site based on your program and needs. We think about the whole picture: from zoning and other permitting, to soils conditions, as well as limitations based on costs and the anticipated challenges of actual construction.
Sustainability:
Being sustainable is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Some certifications available are LEED, Living Building Challenge, Green Building, Built Green, Green Globes, Green Home, Net Zero, Energy Star.
Renovation:
More than half our projects involve modifications to existing buildings. We are familiar with historic materials and construction techniques, and can offer and specify newer materials that are compatible with the existing architecture. The key in remodeling is to integrate the new with the old to “create flow”. You will throw your money away with a poorly designed renovation. The short term expense of professional input can save money in the long run.
New Construction:
We are about design and about getting things built (the nuts and bolts). We think about how pieces of the building interact, how they will be installed, and about their durability. We produce clear and coordinated drawings from which contractors can accurately price and build your project.
Code Compliance:
As architects responsible for the safety of building occupants, the list of codes and regulations with which we deal is long, and varies by municipality, project type, and individual site conditions. Codes outline the minimum standards for buildings to withstand the forces of their use, as well as loads of earthquakes, floods, and wind events. Changes in materials and technology, environmental and safety concerns, as well as lessons learned (usually through study after the effects of a disaster) perpetuate code updates on a regular cycle. Our office’s continuing education places specific emphasis on staying up-to-date with the ever changing regulations that affect your projects.
