DSGW provides clarity through active listening and immersive planning with our clients. We believe in architecture that answers the questions that haven’t been asked yet. Our 7 step process is followed for every project.
We start each client relationship by making space for storytelling. For us, that means listening first, then doing our homework, and finally presenting a vision for the project.
A truly great architectural plan should be the reflection of the client’s vision – a blueprint not just for a building, but for the stories that will be made in the space. We bring all the experts to the table to make sure that aesthetics, functionality, culture, wellness and sustainability are incorporated into our plan.
During this step, we bring our shared vision to life, making sure the client understands how and why decisions are being made. No detail is ignored – from site design to building security to interior space planning.
Approval for us is not simply presenting a design to a client. It’s making sure our entire team has reviewed a design and that we’re meeting or exceeding our guidelines for sustainable and healthy design and our clients’ expectations.
From the big picture to daily project management, our team handles the details so you can continue focusing on your own priorities. We’re not just architects and designers, we’re project managers, we’re researchers, we’re communicators and we’re stewards for our clients.
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching our clients’ visions come to life. We take responsibility for guiding our clients through the building process, resulting in a functional space that is true to their mission.
The completion of a building is not the end of our work. We know that measurement continues in how the building is used, how it saves resources and money and how it helps to tell your story. Your success is our success – and we share in celebration alongside you. A built space connects us forever to our clients.
