Here's How We Do It
1
Discover
We brainstorm and prioritize the desired project outcomes, consider historical, cultural, and educational opportunities and explore accessibility and universal design. Input from key stakeholders and community groups, including parents and children will be essential at this stage. We want to make sure everyone is heard. We can help you host a design workshop or town hall meeting to brainstorm ideas and hone in on a central theme.

Design
Our artists create sketches and drawings to bring your dream to life and help you visualize the look and style of the project as we finalize the concepts. An interactive lookbook follows with material samples, renderings, and animations that give you a close-up view of the design. This is your dream, and we leave nothing to chance.

Deliver
On select projects, the approval phase will include scale models or a visit to our design and manufacturing studio for approval of key details before construction begins. We coordinate an expert team of site contractors and certified equipment installers to prepare the site, assemble all the components, and bring the space to life.
