architecture

Architecture is a passion for edwin brantley smith + associates. We constantly explore new and distinctive ways to solve problems. The unique is sometimes the obvious. Our design approach begins with an inclusive understanding of existing conditions, situations, and program. Once documented, these components form the base for the conceptual process. Extensive client involvement, interaction, budget and concept testing result in the right solution for the problem.The development of the design transforms specific, detailed client requirements into workable solutions. Our goal is to provide clients with flexibility within the design to adapt to change. This designed flexibility greatly reduces or eliminates change costs.Our seasoned technical staff produces intricate, three-dimensional space drawings. We pride ourselves in precision document coordination and technical reliability. Experience with industry standards and regional construction techniques enables us to keep detailing simple, clean and elegant.Project construction is the realization of the client's goals. We closely monitor the process, advising and guarding the client's interest. Our administration checks all specified material for conformance and application. Occupancy and start up are coordinated as another phase of the project to ensure it is on schedule and successful. After the first year of occupancy, we analyze the building’s performance, materials and design decisions and compare them with the client’s goals. This performance evaluation helps projects continue to be successful.Edwin Brantley Smith + Associates is dedicated to providing innovative solutions that are technically superior and easily constructed.
