Our Services

We excel in providing design solutions tailored to every client's needs. Our firm offers comprehensive design services, including schematic or pre-design as well as a complete design development package, with one goal in mind - to bring your visually pleasing projects to reality. Our design process always starts by identifying the key criteria of a project: What is the biggest problem - what is the greatest potential? Rather than arbitrary aesthetic or stylistic prejudice, all decisions are based on project-specific information - "Information Driven Design." Our effort as architects is sandwiched in the window of opportunity between analysis and implementation.

We also provide site analysis and planning solutions, including evaluating the organization of land use, zoning, access, circulation, privacy, security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors to determine and create an intelligent and informed approach to organize structures or land features on your property. Additionally, our programming services provide a process that is committed to designing buildings that meet each client's specific quantifiable needs.

With extensive experience in architecture and master planning, our portfolio includes over 90 projects, ranging from high-end hotel and condominium projects, high-rise, mixed-use buildings, synagogue and religious buildings, commercial architectural branding, healthcare facilities, residential PD master planning, city and urban planning, educational institutions, and extensive experience in adaptive reuse projects for both residential and commercial applications. Our self-described approach to design and architecture is "current but practical, " and our forward designs are complemented by our keen appreciation for our clients' interests and goals to see their project completed on time and on budget.
