In the fast-paced and often stressful push to get to a finished building, clients and architects alike easily overlook process. Beginning with initial consultations and pre-design conferences, we strive to establish a partnership, or, relationship, with clients through which their needs and the circumstances of the site percolate. It is this process that defines us and defines each project. Our initial consultations are as much an opportunity for the client to interview us as for us to interview the client. The creation of architecture, which as a whole builds the city for generations to come, brings with it a heavy responsibility that cannot be taken lightly by any of the parties involved. Throughout our design process, from the beginning consultation to the handing over of the key, and beyond, we continually reinforce the high level of responsibility that the design team as a whole, architects, designers, clients, consultants, city officials, etc have on making our cities. It is the evolution and development of each of these relationships that is the yardstick by which we measure our success.
