It’s easy to consider the environmental impact a building will have when I consider the probable lifespan of a structure I work on. While energy efficiency and resource management might save a relatively nominal amount in the short term, the buildings we build are not designed as temporary constructions. These projects, be it a church or office, retail space or a government building, are meant to survive the test of time. That means those little steps we make to conserve power or water or any other resource is compounded by the years the building is expected to thrive and survive.

It's a unique responsibility.

At Dickinson Architects, we understand that a successful design incorporates a lot of criteria, none more important than the other. That’s why we approach each project understanding that budget, beauty and functionality are all equally essential ideas. We also understand that building can dictate mood; that the construction process, the ease of use and the sense of space can affect people on an emotional level. That’s why we usually try to err on the side of happy.
