ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Our ability to provide architectural services is largely derived from the partnerships that we foster with our clients. We believe in customizing the work program for each project, while maintaining a hands-on approach throughout the design process that involves architects, engineers, planners, designers and project managers. We can deliver a wide range of architectural services independently or as part of comprehensive program.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior design requires instinct, intelligence and experience in planning and functional design, and when applied reinforces a building’s architectural vision and creates spaces with purpose that enhance the overall experience. By integrating materials, colour, lighting, data, communications, HVAC and furniture we are able to provide clients with a unified design solution. The hallmark of our interior design philosophy is to provide an inclusive, fullservice approach and create complete solutions.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The increased complexity of code required interior environmental control, combined with today’s emphasis on indoor air quality and effective energy management call for sophisticated design solutions. We employ a team approach to achieve an end product that is in harmony with the building architecture, occupant comfort, health and operating efficiency goals.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

From power distribution systems, lighting and telephone and data communications to fire alarms, energy management, security systems and sound and television systems, we are all surrounded by electrical systems and each of these systems is important components to providing comfort, performance and safety within a building. As electrical engineers, we optimize these systems to create ideal and sustainable environments for our clients.

COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN & BIM

In 2006, IDEA began investing in BIM technologies and integrating their use into daily practices. Today both our offices and all three of our major disciplines (architecture, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering) use these systems for design purposes. While our BIM strategies can include many different platforms and workflows, our baseline strategy is leveraging Autodesk Revit with add-in workflows.
