SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to environmentally-sensitive, energy-efficient planning and building design—a dedication that recognizes these values as design fundamentals.
Our team has demonstrated expertise in sustainability principles and green design standards. Staff at IDEA include several LEED accredited professionals, as well as staff members training for LEED and Well certifications. Our sustainable design has been recognized with successful LEED Gold buildings.
ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is our core service. We are determined to create inventive, pragmatic spaces that respond to client needs and end user experience.
IDEA is committed to providing our clients with thoughtful, rigorous, and responsible design and building planning solutions. Our architectural service includes understanding, interpreting, and delivering a design that best responds to client needs.
CARE OF SERVICE
We're there at the beginning of the project, through to design, during construction, and long after the project is complete.
IDEA’s whole-life project philosophy guides our work from start to finish—and beyond. Our care of service keeps us with you after the project, since our relationships keep going long after. Our small-team advantage that keeps us nimble and dynamic, responding to client needs responsively and thoughtfully. We foster a culture in which staff go above and beyond the average level of service to create a positive, memorable impact on each client.

Discovery
Our work begins on each project by getting to know our client and understanding their vision. We review existing information, drawings, plants, etc., identify desired program elements, and establish project goals and functional needs through extensive client engagement.
Exploration
Using the results of our initial engagement, we crate an options analysis that results in a preliminary physical plan and technical briefs that guide the design. Ongoing dialogue with the client refines the design, eventually leading to an approved direction with conceptual site plans, floor plans, building elevations, and three-dimensional perspective views.
Development
Once the preferred option is selected, we further refine and develop the design into its final version—while continuing to collaborate with the client and stakeholders to get it right. As a result of the design development stage, we will have completed a renderings package that clearly demonstrates the finished product and construction documents that show the roadmap on how to achieve it.
Implementation
In the implementation part of our process, we finally make a project into reality. Through high-quality construction documents, assisting with tendering, and then monitoring construction, IDEA follows through on the project to its satisfying conclusion for all parties involved. We make any project we hand off to the client one we are proud to have been involved in.
