As a full-service design firm, The Design Forum specializes in architecture and engineering for educational, municipal, commercial and religious environments. Now in our sixth decade of shaping environments, we believe that the energy of good design should be a reflection of the vibrancy which it is intended to inspire.

We are not solely designers of buildings, but creators of environments - environments that are a blend of human, aesthetic and technological sensitivities. The process used to define your needs is one of discovery, striving to integrate your most valuable resource - people. The experience of shaping an environment, whether a new or an existing structure, is unique to each client. As architects, our role on your team is to facilitate the shaping of ideas and the innovations we envision together through interaction and participative planning. We consider it our responsibility to shape and develop these visions into a successful and cost-effective building program. And, as technological and programmatic changes impact the educational environment, we work to keep flexibility at the center of the design agenda.
