philosophy

We care about cities, their environs and institutions. With our exceptional clients we have restored buildings, built beautiful homes, created libraries for young students, and designed new office spaces. We think about how these places are part of the urban fabric – we want to improve them and enrich where we live, work, learn, and teach through thoughtful design.

Our clients are partners in the process from the initial kick-off meeting to the day that we shake hands at the end of the project. We work closely with them to make their experience as fulfilling as possible. Often we meet with them several months after the completion of a project for a “retrospective” look at the project and its challenges – this feedback has been critical to our continued success with repeat clients and new clients alike.

As we have grown, we have hired key personnel with diverse expertise and backgrounds. We assign staff to projects based on their experience and a careful alignment of their design and management skills with each client’s vision and the project’s complexity. Project teams are introduced to the client and maintained from the beginning of design through project completion. We conduct frequent internal peer reviews and hold in-house seminars to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies, risk management techniques, and best management practices.

We are strongly committed to local, regional, and global environmental issues that are affected by our design strategies. To help reduce the impact on our natural resources, we merge elegant solutions with appropriate sustainable technologies.
New York City and its surroundings are changing, offering new challenges to how we exist in the context of 21st century society. New demands are being placed on us to think about how we can restore our natural and built environments. Loci is fully committed to creating richer, more dynamic places that respond to these demands in considered, intelligent ways.
