Designing Destinations to Explore, Engage, and Connect

Driven by imagination and problem solving, ISG's team of architects and designers collaborate and conceptualize to create new possibilities for the built environment. Our focus relies on envisioning how people will explore, engage, and connect with space.

Architecture

Big ideas don’t happen by accident. Our architects’ commitment to engagement, alternative analysis, and creativity fuels our ability to build a unified vision with our clients. We understand the inter-connectivity between social, environmental, and economic interests to build consensus between stakeholders. Balancing diverse perspectives with ingenuity, resilience, and performance, we create spaces that are meaningful and inspiring.

Interior Design

Our interior designers develop spaces that influence behaviors and the way people think, feel, and act. The goal? Create lasting environments to live, work, learn, and play. Following safety and welfare guidelines, space planning promises function while our client’s design is enhanced with finishes, branding, wayfinding, and experiential graphics.

Landscape Architecture

Our landscape architects combine art, psychology, and sociology to produce outdoor environments. Whether planning parks, designing trail systems, or activating athletic and urban areas, we analyze the context of a site and intended activity to ensure scale, materiality, safety, comfort, and beauty is meticulously crafted to engage users in a meaningful way.

Visualization

Our visualization specialists elevate design ideas by illustrating an unbuilt environment into captivating visuals that help engage the audience and build consensus during the project process. Merging artistry with the latest technology, various forms of media including still images, animations, and virtual reality illuminate the experience and create the life-like actuality of our client’s spaces and places.

Our Design Approach

We utilize a variety of design tools including charettes, stakeholder engagement, and VISIONING LABS to clarify needs, identify goals, and uncover collective motivations to explore, engage and connect.

Design vision starts with putting pencil to paper. The sketches and drawings we create ignite the senses, communicate ideas, and help build consensus for a unified concept.

We are committed to understanding our clients, to helping them make better decisions, faster. The result? One-of-a-kind design that has purpose, balances form and function, and serves as places people want to be.
