DesignPhilosophy

Great design can be achieved through development of clear vision and project problem statements, and a concise space program. Once this is achieved, an appropriate design solution can be expressed.

The function of the building is expressed through a harmonic balance of forms, materials, fenestrations, and details. Design elements that impact the form of the building are site access, building orientation, prevailing winds, solar exposure, views, etc. Great design strives to achieve a balance of all of these elements with the program elements to provide an aesthetic and functional facility.
