At Abell+Crozier Architects, there is no “lead designer”. We have selected our staff very carefully and have tried to pick the most talented, driven, and like minded people we can to join the team. The firm culture is extremely collaborative in nature and thrives on the input of all members of the team. Every project begins with a brain storming session where there are no bad ideas only opportunities. Through subsequent group reviews, everyone is encouraged to add his or her input. The result has been highly innovative design solutions that everyone takes ownership of.
