Business Philosophy

Architectural space provides the most intimate experiences of architecture. The challenge, especially for commercial buildings is that they must adapt to a variety of changing uses, to create architecture and interior architecture that endures while remaining fresh and functional. Buxton-Kubik-Dodd, Inc. Architecture + Interior Design will strive for design excellence with the understanding that the architectural space has the most profound effect on people and can actively transform the way they live, work, and play. By understanding visions and goals, we can bring buildings and interiors to life by integrating space, technology and people. We believe that each project has the potential to be a unique design problem, and our solutions will be tailored to respond to each individual’s requirements. Budgets and schedules do not limit good, creative design; they define it and set the required parameters. Our project portfolio attests that we constantly balance form, function, and financial resources to achieve the best results for our clients and their building projects.

There are other elements evident in our past experiences; primarily among them is the experience of space itself and how the individual uses it, how the individual in the group reacts to it, how a visitor understands it. Our designs shall express order, create spatial and systems modules, and deal with such dichotomies as public/private, open/closed, service space and served space. Our design decisions are based upon pragmatic concerns, flexibility, adaptability, ergonomics, environmental appropriateness of materials, human comfort, technology integration as well as less tangible, though no less essential ones: image, pride, sense of community, and personal interaction.
We are convinced the design of architectural spaces can actively change the way people live, work, & play. Different types of spaces, furnishings, and amenities within these spaces should provide the elements, tools, and mechanisms not just to accomplish functional tasks, but also to achieve professional, business, and personal goals. As architects and designers we use our knowledge and expertise to offer a wider range of architectural design possibilities.
