Architecture
Rather than specialize, Eckenhoff Saunders relishes in a broad diversity of practice. We enjoy designing places of learning and healing, places of rejuvenation and play, and places of industry, worship and work. This variety of experience and passion for what’s next keeps our professionals nimble and engaged, always learning, always growing.
Interior Design
It’s through the lens of textures, patterns, colors and materials that the built world comes into focus and its character and moods are revealed. By the deft use of this palette and scale, by showing restraint or taking a chance, our designers coax environments to communicate their living character. With each design, we seek to partner with the architecture to provide a rich landscape infused with meaning and that expresses the message our clients place in our care.
Master Planning
Where to?– It’s with a vision of the destination that each journey begins–but in which direction do we travel, what paths must we follow to get there? By Masterplanning, we help you methodically navigate the due diligence process that lies between Vision and Building. Every plan will travel a unique path of survey, assessment, programming, planning, and budgeting but each will arrive at your built destination with a clear understanding of why this is where you belong and with a plan of how you can get there.
