Our Signature Design Approach

Summit Design and Engineering utilizes a distinctive Signature Design Approach that sets us apart from other firms. We combine current research and evidence-based design practices, carefully curating our approach to every project. By listening to and incorporating client feedback within our design processes, we ensure that innovative and artful solutions are delivered on time and within budget.

1. Listening/Learning (Deep Discovery)

We take a holistic approach to project development and design. Because of this, our first step in any project is listening to and consulting with our clients. We develop a comprehensive understanding of the site, budget, and client goals by asking questions before drawing a single line.

2. Visioning Collaboration

Every unique project requires a clear vision. Therefore, our second step in the design process is collaborating with our clients to arrive at the right concept for their needs. We ensure that their input is always considered so that we can deliver a product that meets their needs both functionally and aesthetically.

3. Innovative Design

We strive to stay on top of the new research and information that becomes available throughout the design process. As a result, we can combine cutting-edge ideas with our depth of experience to create innovative and elegant design solutions.

4. Strategic Project Management

The design process can undoubtedly be complex, fluid, and changeable. To avoid miscommunication, Summit keeps the client informed throughout the project’s lifespan. We work to clearly define any processes and deliverables so that our results are within budget and on time.

5. Effective Implementation

Our people are our greatest asset. Together, we have the diverse skills necessary to shepherd your project from concept to completion. From architecture to site design to engineering, we have the breadth of experience and professional expertise to successfully implement projects of any scale.
