Time Sensitive Design

Communication

The speed of business processes makes it even more important for an architectural firm to quickly identify client needs. With experienced Interior Design and Real Estate Development staff, Columbia Associates provides deeper understandings of client issues to assist clients in managing space as a critical business planning tool.

Traditional programming is a linear exercise that moves step by step toward a design notion as information is collected and analyzed. Columbia Associates Architecture and Interior Designs can utilize a combination of traditional programming with an addition of .looping critical information to insure that important issues are not overlooked in a fast pace process. Thus we can capture the best of both worlds of stable processes with dynamic business planning. Our planning includes the issues of growth management, staff attraction and retention.

 

Participation

One method we have utilized is beginning work sessions with several concept models each with implications noted in order to generate feedback from the client. The client becomes the center of the process by assisting in the development of the best design choices. As with any project there are several paths that can become possibilities. Our approach in assisting the client develop ideas promotes buy-in and lasting satisfaction with our completed projects. These methods strengthen our designs due to the open forums that we create. Ideas surface because of our ability to generate client-initiated input that may not otherwise surface.

 

Value

Clients can then better gauge their capacity to meet their business goals. Designs are improved reducing risk of unintended results that can cost time and money to change.

Columbia Associates creates enriched environments that improve staff working conditions by invigorating, comforting and inspiring.
