Integrated Design

As a team of planners, architects, interior designers, and engineers, we are focused on the identification and realization of innovative solutions. Far more than coordinating multiple teams in separate offices, we work as interactive participants throughout a collaborative and integrated process. Each of us supports the other with disciplined, real-time thinking towards the betterment of the project.

In the context of increasingly complex building programs and bound by demanding technological and environmental goals, our integrated design provides our clients with places and spaces where the whole of the built environment is greater than the sum of its component systems.

Sustainability

We believe that human wellness depends on the health of the environment that surrounds us. Starting from this value-based foundation, we strive to create spaces and places that allow people and nature to thrive. This pursuit has led to some of the most sustainable building designs in the world and has laid the groundwork for future innovation design.

How we get there:

• Layout and air circulation
• Integrated energy systems
• Solar/renewable energy generation
• Building material selection
• Geothermal cooling
• Automatic temperature controls

Design Process

Our process is rigorous, creative, and interactive, incorporating research and the latest design technologies as a bridge to our client’s thoughts and aspirations. We believe that the most important element in this creative process is establishing an open line of communication with our clients. For us, this is the beginning of our design process. Our clients’ knowledge of their needs and our knowledge of their building typologies provides the foundation for visionary solutions.

To provide real time thinking and solutions, our process is collaborative, allowing multiple disciplines to contribute to the entire process. This allows each discipline to contribute in a matter that elevates each other’s contribution.

• To promote creativity and aspirational goals, we invest our time and resources early in the process to explore the potential of each project.
• Designers work with our clients to develop the design narrative that drives and inspires creative solutions throughout the remainder of the project.
• Through the design review and pinup process, we are able to assure clients of the impeccable and fully executed project. Our rigorous quality assurance process guarantees a flawless construction process and outstanding building performance.
• Design team carries the project forward maintaining the integrity of the original design solution throughout later stages of design.
