BRAND MESSAGE - A DESIGN-FORWARD STUDIO
Applying a design-forward approach in architecture begins with a combined focus on how people use the built environment, plus a deep understanding of how systems operate. The design-forward approach manifests a stronger connection between people and place, ensuring that the role of built environments meet the needs of everyone who uses them. Beyond this spirit of integrity and humanity, it leads to impeccable forecasting and smarter planning— simplifying and streamlining the entire development process. At Dougherty, we know that the most creative solutions begin by thinking ahead to anticipate client and community needs. Design-forward is a powerful way of seeing the future based on an understanding of where we are now and where we have been in the past. The wisdom gained from

experience provides the basis for progressive, sustainable, communityfocused systems that function effectively throughout time and space. Design-forward thinking clearly articulates the vision, intelligence and awareness necessary to forge a new path that leads to a better quality of life. Dedication to our practice, a passion for excellence and a commitment to integrity extend the pillars of an established architectural and design firm, raising the standards of excellence even higher than before.

CLARITY Purpose defines the solution. Defining the purpose of the project, we commit to the truth and develop a strategic plan that executes the desired intent. The most accurate results stem from using both creativity and logic together in alignment with clear goals and vision. Paving the road ahead with foresight brings the reality of future possibilities even closer. Great architecture isn’t merely achieved through technical advancements, design savvy or smarts, it’s about having the vision to build something bigger than ourselves that impacts our environment and inspires lives in ways that elevate the human spirit.

WISDOM Experience equals competency. Through a dedicated discipline of assessing needs, analyzing data and thinking about people, we collaboratively address challenges and create landmark projects. We believe that wisdom begins with the ability to make sound judgments based on what we know from solving prior challenges. These experiences inform every decision and recommendation to guide each project through to a rewarding completion.

INTELLIGENCE Insight informs process. Our Design-Forward approach is built on forecasting outcomes and testing consequences, turning collaborative vision into tangible realities. Intelligence requires us to think for ourselves. We do this by developing a proven process that looks closely at hard evidence and eliminates assumptions. An integral part of our methodology is to constantly evaluate design decisions with astute attention to details and an out-of-the-box approach.

AWARENESS People and communities matter most. Dougherty listens, to our clients, our communities and our design-forward instincts. Navigating the path forward is just as much about making rational, analytical decisions, as it is about using creative insights and intuitive guidance. The internal culture of our organization is based on harmonious relationships that best serve the highest good of the people involved. Our awareness goes beyond architecture, expanding into how architecture affects everyone who touches it - from the users and community to the owner; from the demands of builders to the demands of the planet itself. Great architecture has a positive impact on our communities, our neighbors, our children and all our fellow human beings.

Deeply passionate about sustainable, resource-efficient design that uplifts the community, we stay true to principles that support quality of life for all. We choose our clients based on shared values and mutual respect for the environment. Our integrity is witnessed through meticulous preparation, quick response times and an honest, personable approach to client relations.
