Architectural Design
We believe that the purpose of design is to establish responsive settings for human activity. Effective design is based on essential human values, life safety, efficient use of energy, the creation of states necessary for people to attain their goals, diversity of expression, communication, orientation, personal comfort, stress minimization, ease of movement and enrichment through perception of symbolic meaning |
Handicapped Accessibility
With a thorough understanding of the ADA, the Fair Housing Act and other Code requirements, we provide design services for facilities accessible to and usable by handicapped individuals, as well as the development of programs for the removal of architectural barriers. |
Programming
We believe in the importance of a well organized decision process, including clearly defined client participation. Using interviews and work sessions, we hep catalyze decision making through analytical information processing. |
Energy Analysis
Escalating operating costs dictate the need for a comprehensive understanding of the internal and external factors contributing to energy consumption. Our experience with energy conscious design, including the use of natural and alternative sources, building systems and materials helps us achieve maximum energy performance |
Feasibility Studies
Decision makers in the planning process require accurate and well organized planning services. We offer preplanning studies, project justification analysis and preparation of documents for approval by local, state and federal agencies and other funding sources. |
Economic Analysis
Decision makers, constrained by insufficient financial resources, need accurate economic analysis in the planning process. Working closely with our consultants, we provide services relative to construction, operating and maintenance costs, regularly updating economic projections throughout the course of the project |
