Services
Master Planning / Pre-Design
From macro site selection to micro scale departmental planning, we are experienced and eager to help you start your project right. When large groups are involved, we often lead work sessions of various kinds to build consensus around common goals. Once the goals are set we work together to create the vision of how to meet those goals. This process, whether it be for one person or two hundred people, will help program an environment to grow with your organization for years to come.
Building Envelope Analysis
If you are thinking of purchasing a new property, developing an existing building you already own, or need help understanding what another architect is designing, we are here to help.
We specialize in adaptive re-use and most re-use projects begin with a property evaluation. Different from a standard building inspection, we evaluate the existing building with an understanding of the future use and provide solutions to maximize value with tailored remediation and documentation. For clients searching for space, we are often engaged during site selection to help our clients understand initial cost. When renovating an existing building, there are always hidden conditions uncovered during construction. For that reason our services always include Construction Administration. This allows us to work with the contractor to develop solutions that meet the original vision of the client.
Concept Design - Occupancy
We are experts in helping our clients realize their environmental goals. We begin by listening and digesting our client’s ideas and adding our experience to create 2D and 3D graphics, virtual reality and physical forms. These tools are then used as a basis for an intuitive interactive conversation to advance the project. Once we have sufficiently captured a design that exceeds the client’s goals, we begin the documentation and constant value engineering needed to meet the vision of the owner, the needs of the contractor and requirements of the jurisdiction. If you plan to seek bids from multiple contractors we offer bidding and negotiation services. Once the project moves into construction we offer various levels of on-site supervision and construction administration to guide you to an occupied building.
Peer Review
We play well with others. For Clients and Architects who have already developed an excellent design, but would like a second set of eyes on the project, we welcome the opportunity to provide a peer review. We strive to elevate the quality of any project and provide an additional level of confidence to the client.
