Commercial & Civic Projects
Great design teams are strategic partners who advise clients on a range of design-related issues. Before offering solutions, they immerse themselves in the client’s culture, advance the client’s mission, and steward the client’s resources. Commercial and civic projects represent a significant investment of capital and time, so the journey of design and construction is most successful when built upon a trusted relationship.
By their public nature, projects must consider the perspectives of a broad range of users and aim to create memorable experiences for all customers, tenants, guests, or fans. Great design satisfies important practical criteria of program, scope, and budget, while also transcending them. The big picture context and the small details are thoughtfully integrated into the overall vision.
Master Planning
Beloved urban spaces emerge from thoughtful engagement with a broad range of community stakeholders. Equally important is robust quantitative assessment to understand a place’s physical characteristics. Woven together, these two threads can produce unique designs that respond and inspire.
As communities and cities everywhere continue to face issues like resilience, equity, densification, and connectivity, great design teams embrace challenge with creativity. Planning land for future uses should always seek the optimal balance between private interests and the public realm in ways that enrich both.
