Design Philosophy

KLEIN McCARTHY'S DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

We believe that architecture exerts great influence upon our communities and so requires designers with extensive knowledge and experience. Klein McCarthy's 30-year practice in the field of justice and government architecture qualifies us to provide the most effective design options and recommendations for our clients' projects.

The design and construction of any building-especially a large, government facility supporting multiple functions-is a complex and demanding process. Our experience and understanding of those issues most critical to the government / justice segment helps our clients define and address their role in the design process and enables us to assemble a design team that will successfully complete the project.

Not only must a proposed building fulfill the needs of its future occupants, it must respect budget limitations and meet community approval. It must also abide by safety and accessibility codes, minimize operational and maintenance costs, satisfy local requirements for traffic and parking, and thoughtfully address the aesthetic and functional aspects of its intended site.

Throughout the process of building-from concept to completion-Klein McCarthy Architects will work with you to ensure that all goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible, and that the end result will bring enduring satisfaction to you and your community.
