Process

di Domenico + Partners’ collaborative approach to design fosters a creative studio environment that encourages curiosity and experimentation.

In dD+P’s design process, studio members collaborate with clients and team members to find opportunities at each site to shape memorable spaces that respond to context, legacy, and user needs. The studio’s process is analogous to making a collage—various elements come together through creative orchestration to form a unique work.

dD+P explores design ideas through defining creative approaches to each project. We explore tactile qualities through physical modeling, utilize collaborative software to build consensus, and leverage innovative technology to solve complex problems. Our understanding of materials produces buildings and landscapes that are assembled with thoughtful craftsmanship. Green design is at the core of our practice, with sustainable strategies integrated into each of our projects from their outset.
