Developing an accurate program at the onset of a project provides the necessary information to ensure a high-quality product and a good working relationship. An analysis of the options available prior to the actual design of a project provides clients with the information they need to determine the feasibility of the project from a financial and design standpoint.

OSK is a service-oriented organization that places emphasis on the client-architect relationship. We realize the importance of maintaining aesthetic value while meeting project criteria. Whether the project is a renovation project, a custom single-family residence or a large-scale development, preserving architectural integrity and meeting our clients’ needs is our goal.

Choosing an optimal site and its development is one of the most crucial steps in determining the viability of a project. Our staff is well-versed and knowledgeable of federal and local zoning requirements, environmental interests and preservation. We identify critical natural and man-made factors, both on-site and off-site, to determine opportunities and constraints. We are experienced in providing solutions to environmental concerns and constraints dictated by strict coastal permit program rules. Examination of these factors helps to achieve the goal of the best and most efficient use of the site.

Our team can coordinate interior selections alongside experienced designers, including everything from furniture layouts and finishes to fixtures and electrical logistics. In addition to residences, our experience spans various commercial developments including bank facilities, medical offices, municipal buildings and corporate offices.

OSK actively promotes environmentally responsible spaces through our LEED-certified services. Our team collaborates with clients to integrate energy-efficient and sustainable practices into each project. With extensive knowledge of green building principles and LEED prerequisites, we help clients achieve their goals in environmental sustainability.

Our expertise in historical renovation breathes new life into old structures while preserving their original character and significance.
