DESIGN THRIVES ON COLLABORATION

The TSP team believes that design thrives on collaboration. That’s why we’ve developed a highly iterative process that engages all key stakeholders and leads to a clear understanding of the problems to be solved. Our process aligns with the traditional design phases; however, we execute each in a way that’s customized for your project. We group these industry-standard phases into four easier-to-understand stages: Understand, Create, Refine, and Deliver. We then create a detailed work plan that breaks each stage and corresponding design phase into tasks that tactically address specific items.

Objectives by Phase

UNDERSTAND: Pre-Design/Conceptual Design
Gain a clear understanding of the complex set of diverse items to be solved so we can judge our work within the appropriate context and quickly eliminate any flawed solutions. This can include listening sessions with your staff and stakeholders to hear about their needs, challenges, and ideas.

CREATE: Schematic Design
Illuminate the issues, working through multiple iterations as we collaborate with you and your stakeholders to pinpoint the best design solution.

REFINE: Design Development
Optimize the design solution and ensure a balanced approach to the project that allows us to meet the collective goals, objectives, and key results we’ve identified in previous phases of design.

DELIVER: Construction
Stop designing and start producing clear drawings and specifications that convey to your construction partners the design’s intent in an actionable form that supports your vision.

In conclusion, our approach to design emphasizes the transformative power of collaboration. By engaging closely with stakeholders throughout our customized four-stage process—Understand, Create, Refine, and Deliver—we ensure that every design solution is grounded in a deep understanding of your needs and challenges. This iterative journey not only optimizes the design solution but also aligns seamlessly with your project’s goals and objectives. At TSP, we believe that true innovation emerges when all voices are heard and integrated into a cohesive vision, resulting in designs that not only meet expectations but exceed them.
