At Grimm + Parker our mission statement is creating together: meaningful architecture + client success. We're a diverse group of architects and designers who aspire to make our communities wonderful places to live, learn and play. As community architects, we seek to give meaning to the buildings and spaces that shape our lives. Our purpose is to serve our clients and their neighborhoods through the design of schools, libraries, mixed-use developments, multi-family residential spaces, and a wide array of cultural and civic buildings.
You experience a building from the outside for several minutes when you enter, walk by or drive past it in your community. However, you spend several hours or perhaps the majority of your day experiencing the interior of a building, the rooms, the daylighting, the materials and finishes that you walk on and touch. Interior design plays a critical and important role in everyday life. The need for functional, healthy, and attractive building interiors is increasing as people have come to expect the very best facilities and spaces in their communities.
What buildings and spaces define a thriving community? What do we look for when we choose a place to live, make friends and raise a family? Where do we live and learn and participate in civic life? These are the places that define our architectural practice - in the public realm with a refined expertise in K-12; Higher Education; Libraries; Civic + Cultural + Performing Arts; Recreation + Wellness; and Residential + Mixed Use. When the only constant is change, we help our clients decide what to do next - how to plan for the future and invest resources wisely for their communities.
