I have been thinking a lot about edges lately. They way edges define not only our built environment but they way they play a part in our personal lives with each other. Edges are boundaries. Boundaries have transitions. When edges and transitions are addressed haphazardly or not at all- they suck. And when those transitions are well thought out and intentional- there is very little BS to them.
Corduroy is dedicated not only to the sustainability of our designs but also the client’s experience. Projects should run on time, on budget and that is where we excel. Straight communication and collaboration are critical for success.
There is a pragmatic shift needed in the design industry. Projects have to be understood on several levels and that requires true outside the box thought. We develop partnerships with people outside of the design community and have them contribute to our design process. We feel that the best designs come from collaboration and the deeper that pool of input, the greater the design will be.
Design should be multi-purpose, modular and interactive. More often than not real innovations, the type that can change lives, are not a part of design. Corduroy is turning sustainability into great design by considering the earth, the user and their experience.
