By way of discussion and discourse, we gather insight into our client’s unique vision, and work to understand all aspects of their needs—pragmatic and aesthetic. Because every project is different, we assemble a team of consultants to best serve the variety of conditions surrounding each design. Too often, architects have the tendency to talk past their clients and design teams, driving solutions and aggressive aesthetics rather than encouraging cultivation of the client’s vision and needs. At Neumann Monson, we believe our role is to inform and nurture, implementing the diverse talents within our team to carry an idea from concept to completion. We maintain this process to be the essential ingredient towards the creation of intelligent architecture—grounded in function and enlightened by collaboration. On context: Architecture carries the tremendous responsibility, to not only provide for clients, but also to serve and shape the fabric of our communities. Neumann Monson is committed to the highest quality architectural designs which perform efficiently and improve life. Our firm works to incorporate the client’s needs into the overall language of the project’s surroundings by creating performance-oriented, sustainable designs which harmonize with, and enhance the site upon which they are built. As stewards of our local community, as well as the Midwest, we aim to integrate our work into the landscape and instill our designs with place. On detail: Materials and their assemblies decide the success of an architectural design, from defining durability and practicality to shaping a building’s more sentient qualities. Details inform how we see, feel, and understand the architecture we inhabit. Neumann Monson provides expertise and innovation through the employment of sustainable materials and building systems, aiding in the creation of poetic spaces which both perform and delight. We achieve these qualities through an intense process of design and revision, coordinating with our contractors and consultants to streamline our process and ensure consistent forward progress. By scrutinizing each element within a project, we establish order and functional relationships to provide our clients with the best possible architectural solutions.
