Approach

We believe that a great deal of a project’s ultimate value is created during early, collaborative explorations of our clients’ goals, program requirements, and an uninhibited exploration of the project’s possibilities.  Simple truths are often revealed during this time that become the conceptual framework for the design approach and ultimate solution.  This exploration does not occur behind closed doors.  We enjoy sharing this free association of design possibilities with client and consultant groups.  We believe that (the best) design is a team sport.
