Architecture
Architectural Design
IDC Architects' core competency is the creation of architecture that performs for science and technology. We create environments where innovation and invention flourish. Our clients realize best value solutions to their most complex challenges.
Because great design is a team effort, we encourage participation by all stakeholders. Through collaboration, we transform needs into opportunities.
Programming
Our dynamic, interactive programming process collects and organizes the data that provides a roadmap to project success, and allows our clients to recognize opportunities, evaluate options, and make informed decisions. We add value to the process through our deep, multidiscipline resources, and industry experts who provide critical insights into current and future market trends.
Interior Design
By integrating aesthetic and ergonomic needs with a building's technical requirements, we design interiors that foster performance and help organizations realize their full potential. Our advanced design tools allow clients to "walk through" computer simulations, to review spaces before they are built, while use of sustainable and healthy materials helps ensure long-lived interiors that support well-being.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is integral to our design process. With LEED® accredited professionals in all disciplines, we bring a balanced approach to the stewardship of client resources. We consider the way sustainability decisions impact client culture, construction schedule, and life-cycle costs. We encourage and support the integration of sustainable design as appropriate to each client's goals.
Integrated Security
As architects, we believe that we are responsible for managing the interface between human behavior and the built environment. Security, by definition, falls under this category. We integrate vulnerability assessment and threat mitigation into the design process, with a focus on developing secured and safe environments without compromising quality of life. From our work designing facilities in vulnerable locations around the world, IDCA has earned a reputation as a leader in the security field.
