Profile
Philosophy
Flansburgh Associates, Inc. Architects has always been guided by the belief that well designed buildings can improve the quality of our lives. A strong respect for context, a commitment to sustainability, an eagerness to learn, and a close, collaborative working relationship with our clients are fundamental to our design approach. This holds true whether we are restoring an historic building or creating new architecture.
True innovation comes from true understanding. In-house seminars on subjects such as sustainable design, product research, and historic restoration are common. Three dimensional computer modeling allows us to explore design solutions rapidly and to communicate them effectively to our clients and design team. Traditional model making still plays a key role. Our model shop can produce everything from broad contextual site models to interactive sketch models and full size mock-ups.
We advocate sustainable design yet we recognize that it may not be appropriate for all projects. An in-house “Green Team” was established in 2001 to raise the level of awareness throughout the office and promote the use of sustainable technologies and methods. It is our hope that by bringing thoughtful options to our clients, sustainable design strategies will be considered.
We apply the same guiding principles to a variety of settings, be it a different physical context, client goal, or demand of a program. As a result our portfolio is stylistically diverse. We see every project as an opportunity to explore better ways to create meaningful places. Design teams are given the latitude and encouragement to develop an appropriate project specific response.
