Process centered on you.

Each project starts with understanding what you, our client, needs and wants. This is true for all of our services as it inspires our creativity and challenges us professionally each step of the way.

Your project might start with a phone call, an initial design consultation, an email or clicking the contact us button on this website. From here we listen to understand what you need, what problems you may have, and how you imagine your project.

Working together we will define the goals of your project and identify its constraints. Through acknowledging the challenges and obstacles a project faces head-on we can solve these problems in a way that is practical and elegant. This approach produces a unique solution for each project.

How we work.

Collab combines an architectural approach to design and problem solving with a studio artist approach to making things. The acts of designing and making each inform the other producing a feedback loop that builds deep practical knowledge through experience.

Our hybrid approach shows up in every layer of our work from drawing to building models, prototypes and mock-ups to how we view a construction site. We view everyone who contributes to a project as a partner in collaboration. This belief has allowed us to build strong relationships with clients, vendors, subcontractors, and general contractors. These relationships allow us to assemble the perfect team to produce your project.

This knowledge and experience allows us to understand limitations and constraints and work within them to develop a sophisticated proposal to your project that can withstand the complexities of the fabrication and construction processes. The result is innovative, modern design executed with superior craft.
