Connecting Areas
The interconnecting circles of our logo reminds us of the various entities that work together to create the built environment, each contributing a unique yet complementary role to provide spaces that are functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. The fields of Architecture, Engineering, Design, and Construction work in harmony to create environments that serve practical needs while enhancing the way we experience and interact with the world around us.
Architecture
An architect is a professional who designs buildings and produces the drawings and documents to show how to build them. Architects oversee the project through designing and construction. They are responsible for designs that insure the safety of everyone who uses the building.
It takes several types of engineers to create a safe built environment. Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers, and MEP Engineers (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) work in their specialized areas to design, analyze, and ensure the stability and safety of the structures.
Engineering
Interior Design
Interior design, also referred to as interior architecture, is the professional practice of designing interior spaces that meet the needs of clients. Designers focus on spatial layout, aesthetics, and inclusivity while prioritizing safety, health, and accessibility for all.
Construction
Construction is the process of creating structures and infrastructure that define our environment. Skilled workers bring the designs and plans from architects and engineers to life, with each professional contributing their specialized expertise to the project.
“A design isn’t finished until someone is using it.”
