Personalized Architecture: DSGW’s Core Philosophies
Text here about how DSGW incorporates all of the Core Philosophies into all of its services.
DESIGN FOR WELLNESS
Our design process creates spaces that integrate health and wellbeing into every project — whether new construction or remodeling your office space.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Green design creates calming and healthy environments that elevate the daily lives of employees and visitors.
RESEARCH BASED ARCHITECTURE
We base our designs off of credible research and our own key-learnings in an effort to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Architectural Design
As designers, it’s part of our nature to craft distinctive, beautiful, engaging spaces. Our designs are also driven by purpose, not just looks. We strive to impact the atmosphere and feel of a space, with a focus on wellbeing. Simple design features that transform ordinary spaces are not just about colors, finishes, and furniture selections, but also about flow, integration and efficiency.

Our Architectural Design Approach
DISCOVERY PROCESS
Taking on a design project is exciting, but can also be overwhelming. You may have several ideas but struggle to relate them to the built environment. Our job is to guide you through the process of connecting those dots. We sit down and work together to discover your vision, analyzing your mission, culture, and desired project goals. Our early discoveries provide a framework for development of your design as the process progresses.
CLIENT EDUCATION
Once we understand what you want to achieve with your space, we discuss and study workflow, function, wellness, desired aesthetics and current design trends. Part of our process is to help you understand how interior spaces impact and can benefit your people.
MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS
We understand there is no single right answer to design. We offer you multiple design options to achieve your goals. Often the final solution incorporates parts from multiple concepts into one cohesive design. Ultimately, the correct solution is what feels right for you.
How We Design
PURPOSE DRIVEN
As designers, it’s part of our nature to craft distinctive, beautiful, engaging spaces. Our designs are also driven by purpose, not just looks. We strive to impact the atmosphere and feel of a space, with a focus on wellbeing. Simple design features that transform ordinary spaces are not just about colors, finishes, and furniture selections, but also about flow, integration, and efficiency.
BUILDING YOUR IDENTITY
Your business has an identity, a message it’s communicating—your brand. This is much more than a logo or tagline. Your brand must be woven into the built environment and can even be invisible to those who work in the space. The method we use to capture your brand through design is driven by you. Do you want bold, unmistakable brand elements built into your environment, or a symbolic and subtle nod to the values and mission of your business? We work alongside you to decipher how this integration will take shape. This is our passion.
SOLUTIONS THAT EVOLVE
No two spaces are alike. Our solutions are unique to each client. We’ve gained an understanding of your needs, and perspective into what you do and what your people want. We fuse our expertise as designers with what we’ve learned, to shape a custom design solution, especially for you, that evolves from the ground up.
What You Can Expect
CUSTOMIZED SERVICE
Scope of design services individually tailored to your needs and desires. An engaging and professional experience that unites multiple perspectives. Support and reassurance when you need it during both design and construction.
ENGAGING PROCESS
Enlightening information that will challenge you to consider unrealized opportunities. A collaborative process that drills down to the very best design solution by building consensus. Imagery and drawings to help you make decisions and visualize your design. An understanding that change and evolution is part of what we do, willingness to tweak and refine your design in response.
RESULTS THAT INSPIRE
A focus on the wellbeing of individuals who will use your new space. Form and function melded with aesthetic design features. Consideration and care taken to align design with your budget expectations. A personalized design outcome that represents who you are while reinforcing your brand and culture.
