Full service, planning through permit

Tell us what you hope your branch can be. We can't wait to hear it, and then help you make it real. Here’s how a typical project unfolds:

  1. 01

    Places are for people

    Every project starts with understanding who your staff are and how they dream their space could work.

  2. 02

    The canvas

    Taking what we learned in step 1, we figure out what the size and shape of the spaces could be. Through interactive planning sessions with our clients, we define the boundaries of the canvas: the limitations in site, space organization and budget.

    Deliverables:Site and floor plan test fits

  3. 03

    The painting

    With the boundaries of our figurative canvas understood, we create options for how the actual space could look. Internally, we think of these as paintings within the canvas.

    The technical

    With an approved concept in hand, we assemble the technical drawings for construction.
