The project is a complete redesign of the interior, we touched every surface and added an exterior feel to the interior of the mall. The main challenge was how to create a great experience for the shoppers while transforming the traditional look of the mall to make it look and feel like a lifestyle-center. We implemented our Mobile Design Studio numerous times on site until we got the desired solution.” Overall Architecture Design Collaborative’s Vision is to “Maximize the value of real estate through mindful process and intuitive design. We do this through collaboration. We Collaborate to; Achieve successful projects through design innovation. Build rewarding relationships through service. Sustain viability with exceptional business practices.” Collaboration, which is part of the company’s name, is key to the firm’s approach, as Craig emphasises. “At ADC we focus on collaboration, and not only do we collaborate internally we collaborate with our clients, consultants and the GC’s to ensure a successful project. We get numerous opinions during the design stages and bring in our consultants and GC’s to make sure that we are designing a project that can hit the intended budget.” As a final comment Craig outlines his predications for the future, both of the company and the wider architecture market. “Moving forward, I foresee a continued growth in the mixed-use and retail sector across the country. Our ability to design quickly and efficiently has led to work in numerous states and I see that to expand into more states as our current and new clients go into other markets.” Best in Retail Architecture 2016 - Orange County Architecture Design Collaborative is an award winning national architectural firm providing planning, design, DD, CD and CA services.
