About Us
Our collaborative process guides and informs everyone involved from project conception past completion. At Paragon Architecture, we strive not only to enrich every community with quality design, but to do so through innovative thinking and focused expertise. That’s the Paragon Approach™.
We apply focused expertise and a collaborative team design process to co-create enhanced spaces for users. “Focused Expertise” means that we have invested our time and energy into specific markets and industries and partner with others to bring world class knowledge to our clients. “Collaborative Team Design” is just as much a part of our product as our finished design. We believe that the best product for our client requires their knowledge and experience combined with our own.
The Paragon Approach™ is our culture. We not only focus on delivering a great design, but ensuring that the process we utilize to reach our final product is focused on quality and exceeds our clients’ needs. With The Paragon Approach™, we bring all of the stakeholders to the table, along with the best information and technologies, to create a product that works best for the client, their users and the community.
Services
Adaptive Reuse
Breathing life back into unused or dated buildings is a welcomed project for our team that poses many exciting challenges. While renovating the space to meet new requirements, we preserve the integrity of the original space within the design.
Interior Design
We believe that successful interior settings are flexible, adaptable and durable–but also beautiful and appealing. You should see your brand reflected throughout the design of your business.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is at the forefront of all we do. Utilizing resources that will enhance energy efficiency not only results in improving the bottom line for our clients but also reduces their carbon footprint.
Modern Learning Environments
Our K-12 and higher education projects promote achievement through the thoughtful integration of furnishings and educational technology to provide adaptable, student-centered settings.
Project Management
We have the internal resources to ensure your project stays on task and on budget during the entire process through keeping communication channels open with regular reviews, updated reports and design scheduling.
Programming
We develop solutions based on the unique goals and objectives of each client. There is no one-size-fits-all scenario and we believe in a collaborative approach that will deliver the most effective and innovative solutions for our partners.
Strategic Master Planning
Considering the resources available and the growth goals set by each client, we use our expertise to develop plans that will complement their long-term goals and objectives.
Branding
We work with our clients to create a connection between their space and brand. The two should be intertwined and we believe your space should be a showcase of your brand in the physical form.
Workplace
We strive to fully understand a company's culture so we can design a workspace that will both inspire and enhance productivity while meeting their functional and physical needs.
