Together We Design
Third Place Design Co-operative
As a full-service design firm, we are committed to exceeding our client’s expectations in each phase of the design and building process. We carefully listen to our client’s unique needs then collaborate as a team to find elegant design solutions.
We specialize in managing complex projects with multiple stakeholder groups, working with non-profit and organizational boards, and in facilitating the community and sustainable design process. This collaborative, community-based design approach results in a beautifully integrated design that balances the needs of the client with the needs of the community and the environment.
Our Mission
To advance development of third place(s) in a diversity of contexts and forms where those spaces serve all people and communities equitably.
Our Vision
Designing with a third-place lens forces us to consider and optimize equitable access to the designed space and/or its benefits as well as the ability of the design effort to build social capital, reflect “place” (local culture), and instigate solutions that delight and feed the soul of a community.
Our Principles
-
We model a culture that thrives with growth and change. We create space for communities to do the same.
-
We act as a catalyst for our members' growth, our client goals, and our communities' visions, empowering them to realize their highest potential (affect change) through an open and engaged design process.
-
Real opportunities to thrive through mutual awareness, access, and inclusivity.
