Core Values:
Leadership through collaboration: Through participatory leadership that values each person’s contribution, we seek and achieve results that represent the highest shared ideals of everyone affected by our actions. Our passionate concerns for each individual (on our team, with our client, in our community) in his/her advancement toward self actualization through our interrelationship bring genuine commitment to the projects’ success. We weave together strong, responsive individuals into a collaborative team built on mutual trust and enthused in making the accomplishment of the project an awesome experience. Shared ownership with the client of the project vision, programmatic advocacy, and ultimate project success are demonstrated though listening, learning, and leading!
Comprehensive perspective: In design and decision-making we employ evidence-based, multigenerational perspectives and sensitivity that recognize long-term implications on: environmental protection and regeneration; life-time relationships with our clients and community; and life-cycle outcomes – a whole-life perspective. Organizational learning and the institutionalization of collective knowledge is built on lessons from the past (precedence, successes, failures) recognizing mistakes quickly and then proactively and responsibly addressing them, integrating the knowledge gained into our systems and processes. We manage performance relating to time/schedule, resources/budgets, and relationships/people in conjunction with the service and design that we deliver, pursuing perfection from the high level of organizing concept to the meticulous attention to detail. We keep the end results in mind, taking the long view!
Sustainability position statement: Environmentally responsible design cannot be perceived as an option or purpose separate and disconnected from the general practice of architecture. It is simply the right thing to do. NAC|Architecture embraces environmentally responsible design as being critical to our mission of achieving excellence in client service, design and program delivery. To that end, we are committed to proactive and informed leadership in the pursuit of environmentally responsible design solutions and sustainable practices.
Creative and innovative thinking: Design excellence is an imperative and is demonstrated through persistently pursuing creative alternatives that resolve mutual exclusivity and overcome the default of compromise or concession by imbedding deep knowledge and wisdom in the creative decision-making process. Combining talent, intuitive wisdom and expertise built on broad experience with the insight of client and user, we bring uniquely insightful judgment to the process of creating better places!
