our story:

Founded in late 2020, Center Design + Build started as a Center Design Studio with a simple premise of good design centered around people. People and their relationships -- to each other and to the environment (both built and natural). We believe that through the intentionality of design we can enrich and enhance people’s lives. We recognize that, more than ever, our environment - our “space” - has a profound impact on our general health and well-being. Good design not only supports positive interactions with our environment, it helps build relationships and connectivity between people and the places we inhabit. This is at the core of our philosophy -- good design is always centered around people and how they live. Since our conception center design + build has grown to include center build, center design, and center interiors.

our mission:

our mission is to craft inspiring spaces with care for the people we work with & the world we live in. Our mission at Center Design + Build goes beyond the mere creation of physical spaces; it is a commitment to crafting inspiring environments with a profound sense of care. We believe that the spaces we design and build have the power to influence lives positively, and as such, we approach each project with meticulous attention to detail and a genuine concern for the well-being of the people we work with. Our dedication extends beyond our immediate projects to encompass a responsibility to the world we live in. We strive to make environmentally conscious choices, embracing sustainability in our practices to contribute to a healthier planet. In essence, our mission is a harmonious blend of creativity, care for our clients, and a deep respect for the global community, resulting in spaces that not only inspire but also stand as a testament to our commitment to a better world.

our vision:

Our vision is a beautifully built world, centered around great design & the people that live in it. In envisioning the future, Center Design + Build aspires to see a beautifully built world that transcends mere structures, embracing the essence of great design and the well-being of the people who inhabit it. Our vision is rooted in the belief that outstanding design has the transformative power to elevate the quality of life and foster a sense of community. We see a world where architectural excellence is seamlessly woven into the fabric of everyday living, creating spaces that inspire and enrich the human experience. By centering our vision around great design and the individuals who occupy these spaces, we aim to contribute to a global landscape where beauty, functionality, and the human spirit converge to shape a harmonious and uplifting environment for generations to come.

our core values:

Relationships - We value people and our connections to them -- especially people that reciprocate and value us back.

Authenticity - We stay true to ourselves in every interaction -- whether with clients, each other, or other professionals we work with.

Integrity - Honesty and morality are important in life and in business -- we respect ours and bring that to our daily interactions.

Learning - We stay curious and continually strive to do better -- this means being a life-long learner and continuing to educate ourselves.

At Center Design + Build, our core values serve as the guiding principles that define our approach to every project. Relationships are the bedrock of our work, fostering open communication and collaboration with our clients and partners. Authenticity is embedded in our design philosophy, ensuring that each space reflects genuine character and resonates with the unique identities of those who inhabit it. Integrity is the cornerstone of our actions; we uphold the highest ethical standards in all interactions, delivering on our promises and building trust. We embrace a culture of continuous learning, recognizing that growth and innovation are integral to our success. These values collectively form the foundation of our commitment to creating inspiring spaces while nurturing enduring relationships, fostering authenticity, upholding integrity, and embracing the perpetual journey of learning and evolution.
