Since 1989 we have provided a full range of professional
design and planning services for a variety of project types, scales
and clients. The partners and staff provide comprehensive design and
planning services, bringing personal and professional partner involvement
and expertise to all aspects and phases of every project.
Van Meter Williams Pollack's approach to providing design & planning
services is to stress the importance of working
with the client throughout the design process. Our interpretation
and evaluation goals are simple: to listen closely, to develop and present
ideas, to discuss these ideas openly with the client and to decide the
next step collectively. Through frequent meetings issues and alternatives
are discussed and resolved,until the design meets with the client's
satisfaction and within the budget limitations.
Van Meter Williams Pollack believes that a comprehensive
design approach combining environmental, social, economic, contextual
and client concerns, instead of specific design and architectural styles,
will lead to the creation of more intimately scaled building and communities.
On each of our projects, we believe that we have made a significant contribution
to the function, attractiveness, character, viability and livability of
neighborhoods, towns and cities that we have worked in.
Sustainable Design means satisfying
the needs of the present generation with out jeopardizing the needs of
future generations. Our design approach utilizes technology, creativity
and strategic planning to help restore the social fabric and conserve
resources. This strategy is one of our methods of creating communities
of unique places that express the continuity of our habitation and the
interconnectedness of all people and their physical environment. It is
our desire to create places that are worthy of affection and that can
only enhance the surrounding environment.
