DesignGroup's approach to design is deeply rooted in the desire to enrich the lives of those who experience the firm's architecture. With every design, there exists a possibility for unique solutions and creative, collaborative approaches. This requires a commitment to original, relevant design solutions that go beyond solving specific challenges. At DesignGroup, we place the highest regard for our clients' mission and values and strive for nothing less than design excellence that exceeds expectations, engages the imagination, and delights the eye for every client served.

DesignGroup's Design Philosophy states:

Activity is the reason for Architecture. Creating space and its experience is Architecture's most compelling responsibility. Designing toward unity of interior and exterior space produces a total environment which expresses function clearly.

A "big idea" organizes each project. Its architectural expressions are a clear sense of entry, cohesive logic, consistency of detail, and orderly progression of spaces. Forms have always existed. Design melds forms into proper scale and pleasing composition

Architecture is an elevation of art in meaningful surroundings. The limits of resources and nature present great opportunity for innovation. Simplicity is virtue. Color and light are the delight of architecture. Texture adds depth and substance. Materials are selected for their appropriateness and harmony with each other. Building components and systems become integrated expressions of simplicity. Architecture conserves nature through proper orientation to the elements and artistic applications of technology.
