A Blueprint for Better

Our firm believes…

1. Working together, we can create building envelopes/systems/interiors/contexts that are more safe, productive, healthy, efficient, and distinctive;

2. Design is a journey, a process, and an experience that begins with ideas, ideals, and aspirations, and ends with a better built environment;

3. Each project takes a different path, and we are enlightened along the way;

4. Great design emerges to challenge perceptions of people, products, processes, and places;

5. Collaboration leads to better solutions;

6. We must advocate for our Clients, and the Public;

7. Sustainability, Active Design, and CPTED are moral imperatives that should guide our work;

8. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but attention to detail is critical to its success;

9. In the adage “Good design is good business”; and 

10. While others may choose a path of least resistance, we believe in providing a Blueprint for Better.
