OUR PROCESS

As we strive to fulfill each project’s potential for beauty and impact, we are committed to creating environments which are timeless, sustainable, and smart.

DNA works with our clients to understand their goals and vision for their project. We subsequently implement our SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis, including code analysis and site visits. With our data, we begin creating a series of ideas, including yield studies and “blue-sky” ideation.

While efficiently obtaining jurisdiction approvals, we keep our Client goals paramount. Cost control and scheduling are tightly coordinated with design and production.

Team coordination is a hallmark of our culture. A regular rhythm of team meetings are held both virtual and visceral formats to optimize quality and efficiency. We strive to consistently execute our design and production staff to work in collaboration. We acknowledge the reality of construction
We cultivate an ethos of collaboration with the Contractor and Owner. Our role is critical in keeping project goals in line.
