Space2place is a creative company.
We apply a simple approach and unique philosophy to help clients realize the essence of their vision.

Through design we transform space into place for our clients. Our places embody a philosophy of strong simple design that responds to the environmental and cultural processes influencing each site. Our philosophy is based on respect: respect for our clients, for the environment, and for the power of design.

We’ve created compelling environments for municipalities, private clients, developers, architects and others.

Some come to us to create a totally new environment, and some to rethink an existing space. Our reputation has evolved into a studio that can take on a project of any size project, across a variety of disciplines, and produce high quality original work. This is what we do best.

We create.

Collaboration
One school of design says the end justifies the means, so do whatever it takes to accomplish great design. Another says make the client happy at all costs, and don’t worry about the design. We think there’s a third way, a way that sees the end and the means as equally important. This approach focuses on the aesthetic of the process. It stems from a deep and sincere commitment to collaboration. We involve a wide range of people in the entire process, from concept to completion, and we work hard to make it engaging, enjoyable and inspiring for everyone.

Simple Questions Lead to Simple Answers
We ask our clients questions, then we listen. We listen for the words that get repeated, or phrases that are spoken with passion, or opinions voiced with excitement. Through meetings, and discussions we identify the challenges that will be addressed through our work.

Measure Twice, Cut Once
Most schedule delays come from not enough planning and too much repetition of work. That’s why we make extensive use of plans, illustrations, renderings and even 3D computer models to make sure everyone knows what they’re getting, and what they want. Spending time making the right decision is definitely the fastest way to work.

Strong Cost Controls
We continuously monitor project costs by preparing estimates throughout important phases of work. This way, complex issues and important decisions are resolved early on, which means fewer costly change orders during construction.
