Take a walk through our studio space, and you’ll overhear engaged conversations between colleagues as they debate design details. Even if someone isn’t working on a particular project, they are happy to chat through problems and solutions. No matter if a team member is a partner or a co-op student, their opinion is respected and initiative is encouraged.
In our approach with leading design teams, we take a collaborative approach that encourages honesty and the best work possible from consultants.
Rather than simply producing work as quickly and economically as possible, we hold high standards across all our architectural and interior design solutions. Internally, we develop multiple iterations of drawings before presenting them to clients. This approach helps us meet site and client requirements, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully considered so the final design will endure over time and elevate the architectural quality of the community.
Each team member uses their own background, project experience, and personality to benefit their projects. Rather than rigidly defined processes and roles, we encourage everyone to tailor their approach and job to their own strengths and the needs of the project.
Everyone has the opportunity to try their hand at different aspects of the business, such as marketing, business development, or community relations, depending on their particular interests and skills.
If there is a common thread that connects every member of our team it is creativity. From producing finely honed design to outside the box approaches to common construction challenges, you’ll find not a day goes where creativity isn’t on display throughout our work.
“I really enjoy working with both partners, Patrick Simmons and Jason Martin. With Jason, I know we have a similar design vision and prioritize good composition. And I’ve seen Patrick inspire me and others by being a great leader and modeling how to work well with clients.”
