Services
Architectural & Engineering
We provide comprehensive architectural and engineering services, from initial concept to construction completion. Our process includes schematic design, cost projections, and construction administration to ensure projects meet client needs. With over 100 years of combined experience, we deliver high-quality designs tailored to functional, aesthetic, and budgetary requirements while adhering to industry standards.
Space Planning & Programming
Our space planning services focus on optimizing room layouts and flow to enhance functionality. We analyze quantitative and emotional requirements, addressing factors like natural light, noise, and adjacency to create spaces that feel intuitive. This phase ensures projects align with client expectations before construction begins, minimizing costly changes later.
Feasibility Study
We conduct detailed feasibility studies to assess design options and compliance with zoning regulations. This early-stage analysis identifies potential challenges, saving clients time and resources. By evaluating code requirements and financial constraints, we provide clear guidance on project viability before significant investments are made.
Adaptive Reuse
Specializing in adaptive reuse, we transform historic structures into functional modern spaces while preserving their character. Our expertise includes navigating Ohio Building Code Chapter 34 requirements to repurpose buildings sustainably. This approach honors community history while offering cost-effective alternatives to new construction.
3D Conceptual Design
We create 3D renderings and animations to visualize projects during the conceptual phase. These tools help clients understand spatial relationships and design intent before construction. By refining concepts early, we ensure alignment between client vision and the final built environment, reducing uncertainties in the design process.
