5G Studio Collaborative, was founded March, 2005 to expand the parameters of design
beyond the traditional architectural practice. Instead of only participating in the design
phase, we exercise our role as process leaders throughout the entire project life cycle.
We conduct Master Planning activities with the mindset of a real estate developer, with
the creative insight of a designer and with the jobsite know-how of a contractor. We
design with the objective of implementation. We intend for our designs to thrive and
sustain civic and commercial life. Emerging from extensive design/build experience
within the Beck Group, we bring distinctive design solutions that demonstrate an
understanding of project feasibility, budget, schedule, constructability and facilities
management. Our integrated project management process brings the developer and
contractor into the design process to ensure the constructability and cost effectiveness
of plans, specifications, details and systems. We elicit input from our subcontractors
and vendors during the conceptual design phase and all the way through
commissioning. Our goals as project team managers are to increase the flow of
solutions, reduce costly inefficiencies and improve the value delivered to our clients. 5G
honors historical significance and works to integrate the history of a building, a
development or community into our work. When we translate a design, additional
consideration is given to constructability, ecological features, environmental
sustainability, energy efficiency, feasibility, and budget. 5G promotes a highly dynamic,
creative and entrepreneurial corporate culture that values intellect, insight and
innovation. We maintain a client focus, a distinct design sensibility and a production
mentality. We attract very gifted professionals who seek greater challenge, peer level
collaboration and visionary clients.
