Architectural Design Services
Architecture is the core discipline of Thriven Design, the discipline under which the firm was founded in 1971. Thriven Design has 17 registered architects on staff and 10 LEED accredited professionals. We design multifamily housing, student housing, market-rate housing, commercial spaces, and more.
Design Approach
One of the underlying core principles that guides everything we do at Thriven Design is the understanding and belief that a tightly integrated design team is required at the heart of every project—a design team built on the daily practices of collaboration and cross-pollination between disciplines, staff and client. Add to this an emphasis on the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems as part of our normal workflow, and you have the makings of a powerful team of designers who are ready and capable to make your next project a reality.
Thriven’s design approach is grounded in a sustainable mindset, motivated by the opportunity to make our communities better places, and focused on the people who will ultimately live, work, learn and play in the buildings we design. Our Architectural practice brings extraordinarily broad and deep experience in a variety of specialties to a wide range of markets with a professional staff who are expert in the delivery of the following Architectural services:
