Springboard Design is an architecture and planning firm founded on the twin pillars of exploration and resolution. Our focus is on transforming places. This transformation is viewed from a broad, integrated perspective, looking at problems as opportunities while sometimes seeking unconventional approaches to funding and problem solving. Developing effective solutions to complex architectural problems – often with limited resources – requires ingenuity and openness to discovering answers in a multiplicity of sources, both inside and outside the confines of traditional architectural disciplines. This value-added integrated design approach to transforming places has been recognized by the Design Corps as exemplary through its SEED Certification of Springboard Design, one of the first three firms in the United States to be so recognized.

Rather than approach each project formulaically, we tailor each commission’s explorations to the time and budget available.  In this process, our clients become collaborators in an engaging and effective design process that Springboard’s team leads and facilitates. Our techniques prioritize measurement, documentation, and listening. We recognize the opportunities present in the iterative process of shepherding the development of an organization’s vision and our clients do, too.
