The best approach to developing good office design and finding a solution appropriate for your business, brand and budget, requires careful consideration and expert advice from our qualified and experienced design team.”
Located on the first floor of Two Summerlin, the Howard Hughes Corporate Offices reflect the founder as master developer, innovator, and industrialist of aviation and flight. This corporate office evokes these sentiments from the minute you enter the front doors of the main suite. The large custom wall and ceiling metal panels are replicated to show off one of the founder’s favorite planes as the focal point of the reception area. The use of walnut and stone accents set the tone for this stately corporate headquarters in Las Vegas.
Collaborative areas and open workstations promote teamwork. The perimeter space is lined with modular glass walls with barn doors to provide privacy for management as needed. Splashes of color are used sparingly in the overall scheme.

> Our Approach
The best way to build longer-term value for everyone involved in the project—investors, businesses, employees, residents, visitors and partners—is to invite all to participate in its evolution to becoming a thriving project. Our design process emphasizes client involvement, continuous modeling and rending’s including animations to fully and comprehensively communicate the project design, Inside and OUT! We are known for our participatory process and for our skills in leading projects to consensus. We have a great deal of experience working with a varied array of user groups, consultants, community groups and regulatory agencies and we have an extensive background in commercial facilities design. Our design and project management processes are tailored to address the specific requirements of your project(s) which will include the integration of WELLNESS, COMMUNITY, and the “WORK FROM ANYWHERE” trends we’re already seeing in our ongoing projects.
Through open discussions and visioning sessions with you, we are inspired to design creative, innovative and efficient spaces based on the assessments and needs of the facilities. It is this collaborative atmosphere that marks our corporate values. Our design staff is experienced in facilitating these discussions and in applying active listening skills to ensure understanding of your vision.
Proposal for Interior Design Services
For your project, our design and project management processes are tailored to address your specific requirements, and are comprised of systems and controls to ensure quality and timely delivery.
Project Manager’s Note: The crux of this process is timing: Time Management; Coordination; and Meeting Schedules.
• With a relatively short design and documents preparation period, clearly defined roles and responsibilities are imperative. Together, we have chosen a trusted team of professionals we can count on to deliver.
• We use digital communications for submittals and exchange of information such as Architects Supplemental Information (ASI), Request for Information (RFI), pay application review and other means of communication.
• Meetings that end with everyone knowing what to do saves time. E-mails can waste time. Ask twice act once, an adaptation of measure twice, cut once, to move swiftly and surely through the schedule.
Planning | We will endeavor to fully understand the project’s goals and objectives as well as your vision and expectations. Team collaboration is promoted as project scope is identified. Project protocols, business management procedures (such as handling changes in scope, invoices and payments) and a detailed schedule with major milestones will be established.
Communication | Resulting from open discussions and visioning sessions with you, our design team will design creative, innovative and efficient spaces. It is this collaborative atmosphere that marks our corporate values. The design staff is experienced in facilitating these discussions and applying active listening skills to ensure understanding of your needs and vision. Key to effective communication is a clear understanding of your expectations. Our design products, sketches and detailed drawings are developed to communicate solutions. As solutions are discussed and refined they become the record of a unique design process.
Reimbursables | We are seeing reimbusible costs for projects decrease year over year to very nominal levels. For the most part, project submissions are made digitally and expensive print sets are no longer provided to the contractors or agencies having jurisdiction. Any minor reimbusibles for internal or client requested presenation boards will be billed at cost plus 5% and we do not mark-up consultant fees including basic and additional services.
