About

WELCOME TO LIQUID DESIGN

We bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to our architectural designs, setting us apart from other architects. Liquid Design prioritizes sustainability and incorporates eco-friendly features into our designs, reducing the environmental impact of the buildings we help create. Beyond, our strong emphasis on collaboration ensures that our clients are actively involved throughout the design process, resulting in spaces that truly reflect their vision and aspirations. Ultimately, our ability to think expectations and deliver exceptional designs tailored to each client’s needs is what sets us apart in the field of architecture.

WHY THE NAME LIQUID DESIGN?

The key to surviving today’s fast paced technology laden design industry is to be fast, technically skilled, quality conscious and flexible to meet the client’s needs (“high speed, low drag”). This is the niche that Liquid Design resides in. To reflect the fluid nature of the architectural profession — as techniques, materials and ideas are prone to change often, especially with the resurgence of green technologies and sustainable design practices — we aptly named our firm Liquid Design!

RELATIONSHIP BASED

THINKING

Liquid Design prides itself on its diverse and extensivte portfolio. And for good reason; every project is approached with the same focus on creating beautifully functional architectural solutions. With an emphasis on relationships, Liquid Design fosters an engaging design process, which stimulates client interaction and ultimately benefits the end user.

From the very beginning in the year 2000, Liquid Design’s underlying objective was to create and build relationships with our clients as well as designing quality architecture. This relationship-based approach has been extremely rewarding over the years and it continues to be a priority for us today. We have found that the best way to build lasting relationships with our clients is by getting to know them through their unique projects and designing for that uniqueness.

Given the fact that we are truly a diverse project type design firm, our developed relationships, experience and knowledge base has elevated Liquid Design beyond anything that we could have imaged. Proven experts in the general study of architecture, Liquid Design adds immeasurable value to every design opportunity.
