Services
Overview
With lead principals who carry LEED and WELL Accreditations as well as Certified Energy Management certification, our focus remains centered around the principal idea that a phenomenally-designed and efficiently operating project will continue to pay dividends to our clients well after they have initially occupied their new space. Bolstered by an extensive background with commercial office, complicated mixed use multifamily housing, civic projects and design intensive custom projects, the firm continues to service these arenas for new and existing clientele.
At our core is a goal to provide unparalleled service to clients that appreciate hands on involvement from experienced design professionals. With experience in large firms in Southern California and Hawaii, Our principals have re-focused their abilities to allow the time to concentrate on projects that really desire engaged design and construction knowledge. In doing so, we have gained a reputation as a cutting edge design team firmly rooted in sustainability and bring large firm experience and professionalism to the table coupled with small firm service, connectivity, and personal engagement.
Philosophy
The firm’s philosophy is built on the mantra “We Listen…” As simple as the statement may seem on the surface, it resonates through all phases of architecture and is critical to the success of any project. The firm prides itself on client service and principal involvement from concept through creation….not simply until a contract is executed…or perhaps again when a grand opening celebration is planned. In doing so, we provide principal involvement with our projects through all phases of work. Ultimately; when the practice of architecture is torn down to its bare essentials, it is really a creative process of problem solving. As with any cognitive process, the key to thoughtful and effective resolution is dependent upon good communication. We truly feel good communication is a two way street, and with our team, it starts with listening.
