“#Design is a fundamental human activity...I believe in doing what works as circumstances change,” says #MaggieMacnab. That’s how DBI designs for flexibility: spaces that expand or contract, workplaces that inspire collaboration or focus. #Architect #InteriorDesign #WomenInDesign

#AlinaWheeler, author of #DesigningBrandIdentity tells us “Design is intelligence made visible.” This is true in the #BuiltEnvironment – where we work & where we live. DBI designs intelligently, to address the needs of #productivity & #collaboration. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

Amanda Talbot said “Clever design converts and changes according to need.” DBI designs with flexibility in mind – open-plan offices stimulate #collaboration & teambuilding, but quiet focus zones are indispensable. #design #architecture #productivity #interiordesign #AmandaTalbot

#JohnMaeda said “…data can make a compelling case for something, data rarely create the emotions needed to spur people into action.” We begin w data – what needs to happen where & with whom. Then we move past data to effective #design. #architecture #productivity #interiordesign

I. M. Pei said “Success is a collection of problems solved…” which is exactly what #architecture & interior design should seek to do. The designer should work w the client to discover the needs & then work to address those needs. That’s what we do at DBI. #IMPei #InteriorDesign

Frank Lloyd Wright said, “The space within becomes the reality of the building.” #DBI designs to the needs of the client, bringing a refinement of purpose and need. The built environment should facilitate the best outcomes. #FrankLloydWright #workplace #Architect #InteriorDesign

#SteveJobs said “Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.” By listening and by observing, DBI translates needs into structures and spaces that work. #architecture #interiordesign #workplace #commercialinterior

[DBI Architects, Inc. @dbiarchitects]

#SteveJobs said “Design is not just what it looks like & feels like. Design is how it works.” DBI knows great design serves the needs of the user. We work with clients to discover what it is they want to accomplish. Then we design to meet those goals. #InteriorDesign #Architects

“To create, one must first question everything.” ~ #EileenGray. DBI creates dynamic spaces, beginning by understanding the needs of the users. Visioning sessions lead to discovery of needs, which leads to comprehensive designs that promote #productivity. #workplacedesign

#BuckminsterFuller said “When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. But when I’ve finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it’s wrong.” Form and function emerge together in DBI’s designs, yielding spaces that maximize #productivity and user satisfaction.

[DBI Architects, Inc. @dbiarchitects]

Charles Eames said, “Recognizing the need is the primary condition for #design.” This is how DBI works. We start out by determining the requirements that will maximize #productivity, undergird #brand, and create a dynamic space where users will thrive. #InteriorDesign #Architect

Churchill said: “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” It’s important to give shape to our built environment that is beautiful, & promotes creativity, productivity, & teambuilding.

Color – muted or strong, or just pops against a neutral palette – lend interest & even intrigue to interiors. Color can indicate “neighborhoods” in an open office, or can have calming or energizing effects. All these considerations go into DBI’s visioning process. #InteriorDesign

[DBI Architects, Inc. @dbiarchitects]

Frank Gehry said “Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” This is DBI’s approach. To create dynamic spaces that are on-trend, while being sure that the trends are legitimate, rather than passing fads. #InteriorDesign #Architecture #FrankGehry

Frank Lloyd Wright said “Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form & function should be one, joined...” That’s the philosophy at DBI, too. Environments that promote #teambuilding & #productivity don’t happen by chance. #InteriorDesign #Architecture #DynamicSpaces

[DBI Architects, Inc. @dbiarchitects]

What’s the best office plan to maximize #productivity & #teambuilding? That depends on what you do & how you do it. User groups & organizational culture will determine the optimal design. DBI works hard to discover the best solutions for the client’s needs. #workplacedesign

Pops of color in a more neutral palette can have a dramatic effect, sparking interest, creating #dynamicspaces. #workplace #workplacedesign #Architects #ArchitcturalDesign #commercialinterior #InteriorDesign #PropertyManagement #CommercialRealEstate #CommercialRealEstateBroker
