OUR PASSION - OUR EXPERIENCE - OUR PROCESS
High quality design is not a luxury, it is a necessity. It is smart, comprehensive, responsive and inclusive, and it is possible regardless of the scale of the project or the budget. It has the capacity to directly improve the quality of our day to day lives and how we co-exist as individuals, as communities, and as a world.
At PTA, our process and goals are founded on providing high-quality, high-craft environments. We hold a vision of balanced, whole-systems value and shared responsibility based on respect for the occupants, the communities they inhabit, and the environment at large. This is our definition of sustainability. Every project and every client, from the highest profile to those which are traditionally underserved, deserve this type of attention to their built environment.
In our view, there is no singular project solution, only solutions which respond to the individual vision of the client guided by the hand of the architect. The process we employ has developed from our diverse experience and our ability to ask our clients the right questions, truly hear what they have to say, and design inspiring solutions which embody these aspirations.
To manage and unify practical needs and a sense of delight, we use Defining Principles so that the team has a common understanding and moves toward a unified set of goals:
• Design High Quality, High Craft Environments – Our environments couple inspiration and creativity with smart, well-working, long-lived solutions. • Work from the Fullest Vision - We know how to keep our client’s most-valued qualities front and center • Good Design Is Sustainable, and Sustainable Design Is Smart - Sustainable solutions don’t always cost more money than other options - they just require smart thinking up front. • Communicate Well, Manage Effectively - The most effective way to control cost and quality is to have a well-run project from day one.
