Your vision... Your dream... Your building... they matter.
Imagine your facility supporting your vision and enhancing your ability to reach your goals. Imagine your “built environment” being designed in such a way that your employees, clients and all the people you interact with are more motivated, effective, committed and inspired. That would be BEAUTIFUL.
If that doesn’t matter to you or your organization you can stop reading.
Shelden Architecture exists because buildings matter. We shape our buildings, and thereafter our buildings shape us. -Winston Churchill This group of skilled artisans exists to give these buildings and all their related spaces well thought out function, beauty and meaningful form. We cannot imagine doing anything else.
We believe ours is a service-driven profession in which we play an interpretive role, listening to our client’s needs, hopes, and dreams to be inspired by them. Along with a selected builder (General Contractor) we translate, as design partners, our clients’ words to meet their architectural objectives.
You’ll find the people here very empathetic. We have a practiced ability to put ourselves in the shoes of those we design for as well as those who construct our designs. This also makes us uniquely effective advocates for our clients’ objectives. After all it’s their building, not ours.
This quality, along with a demonstrated passion for what we do, enables Shelden Architecture to consistently design buildings we’re proud of.
BUT DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, HEAR WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
WHAT THEY SAY
“Their vision mirrors ours as a company. We are a bold, entrepreneurial bank specializing in small business lending and innovative service, SA was able to take our words, behavior and success, and translate that into structure, form, function, and appearance. The clean lines, space, and prestigious materials signify the importance of banking while welcoming visitors into the facility.
Brad Elliott Equity Bank, CEO
“SA did an excellent job leading us into a state of the art building. They were extremely cognizant of our desire to be a long term asset to the entire community and its wonderful people. Their efforts exceeded our expectations.”
Kevin McClure Lyons Federal Bank, President/ CEO
Shelden Architecture is a dedicated, creative and determined firm, whose character and skill stand out among their peers. We had an exemplary experience during the entire process of the project, from schematic designs to the post occupancy reviews. We have had nothing but compliments on our new branch and the facility itself is working beautifully.”
Barry M. Purdy
Formerly at Kanza Bank, Executive Vice President
“Shelden Architecture was awesome to work with. Having worked with many architectural firms on varying projects in my career, I know how difficult it is to find one like Stan and his team who can handle both the creative and technical aspects of the job at the highest levels. Their work was always delivered on time, within budget and with well thought out ideas on how to make our bank better. The relationships with Shelden Architecture, the contractors, the subs and ownership were seamless. Our completed bank building is beautiful and functional, largely due to the Shelden team. We intend to use Shelden Architecture on our next project.”
Greg Kossover Formerly at Equity Bank, EVP, Chief Financial Officer
WHAT WE DO
Can we read your mind? No. But with a comprehensive understanding of your business and your expectations, we can translate your vision into distinctive architecture.
Distinctive architecture is more than roofs and walls. It tells the world who you are. It motivates your people and enhances your ability to do business and live.
DISTINCTIVE ARCHITECTURE IS WHAT WE DO, INSPIRED BY YOU.
Shelden Architecture is a full service architectural firm providing services ranging from Pre-Design through Construction. Since 2002 we have designed distinctive buildings for scores of clients from the fields of business, health care, financial, retail, education, religion, housing, and more.
WE MAKE THE CLIENT’S PROJECT OUR PROJECT BY:
• UNDERSTANDING the Client’s INTENT
• RESPECTING the Client’s BUDGET
• HONORING the Client’s TRUST
• DREAMING the Client’s DREAM
• DOING WORK in which we can all be PROUD
• ACCEPTING our RESPONSIBILITY to the Client, Company, & Community
HOW WE DO IT
From our beginning more than 80% of our projects have been produced using a “Selected Team” (or Design/Build) approach. Not only do we have extensive experience with this approach, but we are convinced that this will produce the very best ideas and solutions with a complete understanding of the cost and time involved with each option. This approach gives you, the owner, real confidence to make decisions as the design and construction team come together: knowing that aesthetically, functionally, and financially your goals are being met.
Communication is critical to a well-managed project. Stan Shelden is heavily involved as a project is being defined and multiple concepts are vetted. The Project Manager is the day to day contact available to work with you or your committee at all times during our engagement and beyond. We work closely with team members as we refine the project time line, and define the specific requirements that best utilize your space.
We can generate a plethora of design possibilities by holding design charrettes. After reviewing and defining the project’s best options with your staff & team members, the architectural, engineering and construction team establish budget options and any necessary imagery and documents to support your efforts. We’ve done it for hundreds of clients and we will do it for you.
