High Performance Design – The Integrated Process
Our design approach starts with integrated design teams to provide projects that are tailored to each owner’s needs. Our integrated design teams harness the talents and insights of designers, builders, engineers, and landscape planners to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, and maximize efficiency throughout all phases of the design and construction process.
High-performance, healthy homes are systems in which each component is interdependent on the other. Getting these systems to work together requires a balance of performance, design intention, aesthetics, and craftsmanship that’s dependent on the full cooperation, participation, and collective responsibility of all design professionals, consultants, and builders. Mutual respect fosters a collaborative, exciting atmosphere that raises the level of quality.
A key to this process is empowering the owner to be an equal participant. Owners understand what’s going on, are able to make informed decisions, know how their construction budget is being spent, and overall find the process less stressful. Integrated design offers a better, higher quality process and end result for owners, designers, and contractors.
