Philosophy:
Provino Architecture takes pride in being responsive to client needs and maintaining the highest attention to detail. Philosophically we believe our projects should be a reflection of our client’s vision and therefore bring no preconceptions to the table. Each project is unique and poses its own set of challenges and constraints. Provino Architecture will assemble the best design team possible from consultants who are truly expert in their field. We maintain excellent working relationships with our clients, consultants and contractors who build our projects. There is always open communication between all team members. This collaborative approach yields design solutions that are logical, efficient, sustainable and buildable.
Process:
Our core mission is to help our clients realize their goals in the built environment. Every project taken on by Provino Architecture is designed and managed by the Principal. There is an efficient, streamlined process followed at Provino Architecture so that critical information is retained during the design phase and implemented in the construction process. State of the art 3-D building information modeling (BIM) software is utilized at Provino Architecture which is integral to project visualization, design communication and construction documentation.

rELATIONSHIPS:

Provino Architecture understands these complexities and works with you to design an appropriate response to the project constraints while meeting your requirements.

Experience tells us that successful projects—those that achieve the desired results for owners, users, and architects—result from informed clients working with skilled architects to form professional, business, and personal relationships. These relationships are formed early on and are nourished by clear communication, mutually understood expectations, and a willingness of both client and architect to understand and accept their responsibilities for realizing a successful project.
There are few things more satisfying than a successful design project. The secret to success lies in the professional, business, and personal relationships between owner and architect. Please see You and Your Architect, an electronic brochure published by the American Institute of Architects, providing guidance on how to establish and benefit from the Owner-Architect relationship.
