Philosophy

CDG takes pride in its ability to understand and to execute. We seek to provide solutions that are compelling, well crafted, technically sound and fiscally responsible.

We see the design process as a collaboration among our architects, engineers, the client’s stakeholders, and expanded project team members.

Our firm strives to create environments that are responsive to their context, their function, and, most importantly, to the people who own, occupy and work within them.

We stay current with advancements in our industry. We take every opportunity to elevate each design solution by incorporating products, processes and techniques that benefit the success of the project.

Resiliency

The building industry has long recognized the best way for a community to survive, and ideally thrive, in the face of adversity is to be well prepared in advance. CDG has a long history of providing design solutions that ensure our clients’ facilities are able to withstand unforeseen circumstances.

Sustainability

Our designs strive to optimize use of the site, create thermally responsive envelopes and provide energy efficient infrastructure equipment, then thoughtfully choose materials and optimize indoor environmental quality. The result is a healthy, durable and maintainable project.

Reliability

Minimizing or mitigating business interruption requires design solutions that provide diversity, redundancy and ease-of-use maintainability. Providing solutions that are scalable, adaptable and simple are the keys to ensure business availability for our clients.
