Centerline’s philosophy is to design and construct buildings that fulfill the clients needs while remaining connected to the site and integrating into the surrounding context. We believe a well-designed building should be efficient in its size, life cycle costs, energy consumption, overall environmental impact, as well as a healthy place to live and work. The use of local materials, craftspeople, and construction techniques links the project to the community and helps to sustain the regional economy. We are principally an architectural firm, committed to design excellence and a sensitivity for both the client and the site, with a flexibility to listen, as well as lead, when it is in the best interest of the project.
Our goal at Centerline is to offer our expertise to help you define your needs, and to provide a service that leads you through the architectural process from phase to phase, assuring that the most thorough and complete solution is developed and implemented. Centerline has developed a sound relationship with an excellent group of consultants, who have proven to be knowledgeable, efficient, and productive. To insure that the quality, schedule, and cost of a project are not compromised, we provide thorough evaluation during the planning stages with the necessary code agencies and regulatory boards to assure code approvals and positive planning board reviews. Our goal is to provide a flexible attitude toward the client’s wishes, yet provide them with the experience necessary to produce a cost effective project that is safe, sustainable, and sensitive.
Our design approach is inclusive, working with the client and required consultants, combining knowledge and talents to achieve a creative direction best suited to the project. We believe sensitivity to the surrounding cultural context of a site, synthesized with the desires of the client are vital to achieving a strong design. Budget and schedule concerns are key to a successful outcome for everyone involved, and we make every effort to pinpoint and reduce potential issues early in the process. With our design approach we enjoy designing creatively tasteful solutions that are client driven.
