Architecture
Architecture: the art and science of designing the built environment.
Today's architects have a role that extends much further than that of innovative design. Our architectural staff demonstrates design and technical capability, which allows them to assist the client in making realistic judgments. These decisions serve as a basis for determining each specific system and assembly and their application into the design. Utilizing this evaluative process ensures the client an efficient, pace-setting project that is cost effective and economically feasible.
In addition to facility design, we also conduct post-occupancy inspections on completed facilities. These visits typically occur at the one-year warranty time phase of the project. During these visits, we provide our clients with a warranty "punch list" which includes comments and observations on the buildings' function. Through this practice, we are able to benefit and learn from these evaluations. Our findings, gathered by in-depth interviews with the users, are incorporated into a database of evidenced-based design principles and "lessons learned." These findings are available and often are incorporated into new building designs. Our search for excellence is a continuing process that is maintained and updated in a thorough manner.
The experience of Cromwell's registered architects is supplemented by our specialized technical experts who are assigned to each project according to their specialty and the building type. Additional expert consultants are added to the team as required by the complexity of the project. Expertise exists in the following building types:
- Healthcare
- Education/Institutional
- Corporate/Office
- Industrial
- Housing
- Financial
- Religious
- Correctional
- Mixed Use
