Design
As a service-oriented firm, The Sheward Partnership strives to provide design solutions attuned to the specific needs of clients and their projects. Throughout all stages of design, documentation, and construction, our team draws upon their collective expertise to realize their clients’ goals. The firm’s design staff boasts a number of uniquely long-lived, collaborative relationships. Many of the firm’s core personnel have been working together for over 25 years, fostering a strong team culture within the office. The team’s wealth of experience allows them to skillfully manage large and small scale projects. This foundation of expertise is paired with talented new hires, whose energy and abilities broaden the capacity of the team to innovate and deliver successful projects.
The Sheward Partnership utilizes a holistic design approach that considers human experience, environmental stewardship, budget, and programmatic needs. Early to embrace the use of building information modeling (BIM) software, the firm is committed to utilizing emerging technologies to advance the design process. BIM provides clients and the project team with early visualizations, establishes expectations for aesthetics and performance, and facilitates efficient documentation.
