SERVICES
programming
Working with our clients, we review and analyze project requirements and goals. We then develop strategies to realize these goals within the project restraints.
permits
We are experienced in working with municipal authorities to identify and secure the best opportunities for our clients. With our extensive knowledge of civic policies and by-laws, we are able to guide projects efficiently through the permit process.
design
We focus our creativity on designing spaces that are socially, culturally and environmentally responsive to project sites, programs, and budgets.
construction
At ph5 we are dedicated to designing, detailing and delivering well-built projects. To that end, we work directly and collaboratively with project managers and contractors to ensure a successful project.
We are known for our diverse practice designing urban environments, buildings, and social spaces.
As architects, we identify concerns and design solutions. We find that this process is as much about communication as it is about design.
