In addition to this personal approach, the Architect has the practical knowledge of climatic conditions, zoning requirements and construction costs that will also influence the building design. It is the ability to take all aspects of the project and fuse them into a symbiotic whole that the Architect provides.

Pre-Design Services
Developing an accurate program at the onset of a project provides the necessary information to ensure a high quality product and a good working relationship. A survey of the options available prior to the actual design of a project provides clients with the information they need to determine the feasibility of the project from a financial and design standpoint.

Architecture
OSK Design Partners Architects and Land Planners, a service oriented organization, places emphasis on the client-architect relationship. We realize the importance of maintaining aesthetic value while meeting project criterion. Whether the project is a custom single-family residence or a large-scale development, preserving architectural integrity is our commitment.

Land Planning
Choosing and developing a site is one of the most crucial steps in determining the viability of a project. Our staff is well versed in all areas, knowledgeable of federal and local zoning requirements, environmental interests and preservation. Our Landscape Department identifies critical natural and man-made factors both on and off the site to determine opportunities and constraints. Examination of these factors leads to the best and most efficient use of the site.

Landscape Architecture
The careful integration of structure to site and surroundings plays a significant role in the architectural process. Quality in design and in choice of material result in enhancing the visual quality of a building within the context of its site. A carefully thought-out design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Research involving identification of the surrounding native plant species, integration of landscape features and the impact of governmental guidelines provides a fundamental approach to creating a distinctive landscape element.

Interior Design & Space Planning
Realizing the importance of the development of spacial comfort in relation to its surroundings, we offer our clients full design coordination of interior spaces from the onset of the project. In conjunction with custom residential and commercial design, we provide specifications, furniture layouts, detailed selection of floor, wall & ceiling finishes, plumbing fixtures and finishes, interior millwork, electric fixture selection and layout, etc. Our services can include the procurement and installation of the above elements to complete the interior environment.

Green Design and Consultation
"Going Green" is a conscious decision we make to better ourselves and the environment around us. Although extremely beneficial, the choice to live or build green can be quite complicated and somewhat overwhelming. Knowledge in identifying the ever changing products and systems as well as the experience in incorporating the very latest and greatest energy efficient and environmentally friendly practices are vital to successful green design.

We have been designing green since 1985. Our focus on client lifestyles, natural day lighting and maximizing views are just a few of the concepts we've utilized from the very beginning. We have design specialists and LEED Accredited Professionals on staff, ready to guide you through the technologies, methodologies and programs to help make living and building green an efficient and worry free process.
