Design Philosophy
Our design philosophy begins with an insistence on excellence, partner
commitment and project management.
We embrace a client-responsive, project-based team approach to ensure
that each project receives personalized attention, creativity and
fresh architectural solutions.
We are committed to providing patients and their families with a
safe and comfortable environment while at the same time providing
a functional and efficient environment for staff.
Team Approach
We bring together a team of professionals with specialized expertise
in the planning and design of health care facility architecture.
This team's combined wealth of experience, leadership, enthusiasm
and creativity are complimented by the strength of our professional
and technical support staff members.
We regularly team with engineering and interior design groups to
provide our clients with a comprehensive approach to project development
and implementation. We frequently work with consultants local to
the project which is often greatly advantageous to project development
coordination and final outcomes.
We also work with administrators, physicians, nurses, therapists,
specialists, facilities and other staff members to ensure the team
meets the project's unique needs and requirements. This enables
us to gather important information relative to every aspect of the
project during the development process. This all-inclusive team
approach results in the creation of better products for our clients.
Communication Technologies
To complement the project development process, we implement the
latest in communication technologies. Linked to the Internet and
World Wide Web, as well as to a Local Area Network (LAN), we are
able to easily communicate and exchange drawings, ideas and information
with team members. This is supported by our use of Computer-Aided
Drafting and Design (CADD) and by our video conferencing capabilities.
Specialty High-Tech Areas
Unlike most firms, HTB Architects is solely dedicated to the specialized
field of health care facility architecture.
This dedication has allowed us to gain an expansive amount of knowledge
and experience related to specialty high-tech medical environments,
such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Suites, High-Speed CT Spiral
Imaging Centers, Diagnostic Imaging Centers, Emergency/Intensive
Care Units, Surgery Suites, Laboratories and various Patient Treatment
Areas including Cancer Treatment Facilities. |
