Architectural Design

Design is about finding the appropriate balance between form and function.

Architecture is about organizing space and creating the environment that will make a space special. TR Knapp Architects will work with you to create a building that meets your needs, which is cost effective and easily maintained – yet which will reflect what makes your family or organization special. 

Whether your project is starting as new construction or an expansion of an existing facility, it is important to have a design vision that captures the spirit of the owner, the needs of the facility and fits well in the fabric of the community in which it stands.  Architectural Design is a complex understanding of not only how the building will function on a daily basis, but also a formal negotiation of the many zoning ordinances and building codes which prescribe the nature of the building material that will be used to build the structure.  Architects work with a wide variety of hard materials - Concrete and Steel, Masonry and Wood, Glass and Plastics, Water and Plant Materials, Sun and Wind – to create an interior and exterior environment which is rich and rewarding for the people who live and work there on a daily basis.
