Founded in 1999, studioDIG is a full service architecture and design firm
specializing in modern architecture with minimal environmental impact. Great designs reflect a harmonious balance between the use of a building and unique needs of the people who will be using it and the location--the place, the light, the ground, the views, the weather, the feel. Using this rich, multidimensional palette, we create impactful buildings and spaces that perform desired functions with a tangible sense of order and balance. Our studio is modeled after design collectives and connects an extensive pool of individuals, brought in based on the unique needs of a project. Our team of professionals and artisans including architects, interior, landscape and graphic designers, contractors and engineers, fabricators, welders, woodworkers and other artists. At studioDIG, we take a comprehensive approach to projects -- we're there for you from start to finish. We find that this approach makes the project cycle much easier for clients while reducing project time, complexity and risk -- ultimately leading to well designed spaces with integrity, quality and consistency. :: Learn more about our services :: View samples of our work |
