Project Types
Site Analysis | Site Concepts | Short + Long Term Visioning | Yield Studies
Often looked at as solving a complex puzzle, the planning process is a journey of exploring visionary options, creating unique and memorable places, with the interweaving of pragmatic development requirements. Site specific designs are developed for a variety of uses, including phasing, on active campuses or challenging properties.

Education
Classroom + Administration | Libraries + Media Centers | Performing + Fine Arts | Athletic + Sports Performance | Residential Life + Student Housing | Food Service + Dining
The learning, social and playing environments of our next generation deserve the creativity and uniqueness of built space to enable and complement educational and personal growth.

Mixed-Use | Places of Worship | Offices | Warehouses | Parking Garages | Parks + Recreation
Places of gathering and places of collaboration require a sensitivity and understanding of interaction with the use itself and more importantly, each other.

Residential
Multifamily | Student Housing | Resort Style Amenities
Multifamily and Student Housing residential developments can be delivered through standalone buildings, stacked side-by-side or introduced vertically, integrating with parking structures or through surface parking. Inherent in any residential project is efficiency by blending uniqueness with repetition.
DESIGN SERVICES
Architectural Design
DA provides full services for architectural projects from conceptual design, to construction documentation, through permitting and the completion of construction. Integrated into our design process are strong visual graphics and three-dimensional renderings to aid the client in the decision-making process.
Program Definition
Client collaboration to develop the framework of a project often includes identifying use, establishing square footages and assigning spatial adjacencies. This task is critical to ensure the right components are considered early in the process and a thoughtful approach is taken on the organization of these elements.
Project Feasibility Studies
DA has extensive experience interpreting land development, zoning and code requirements as to confirm the viability of both new development or interior build-out / renovation scope. This task is critical to confirm if a property is suitable for development or to confirm the extent of an interior program within an existing structure.
Master Planning
The planning process is a journey of exploring visionary options, creating unique and memorable places, and the interweaving of pragmatic development requirements. Site specific designs are developed for a variety of uses, including often challenging phasing, on active and existing campuses.
Entitlements
We understand how to navigate the complex process of obtaining entitlements through rezoning, replatting, change of occupancy, change of use, site plan amendments and site plan approvals. We foster strong working relationships with local municipalities through staff review and the public hearing process.
