Our Process
At Balay Architects we believe that our Client Centered Design Process is what builds successful client relationships. The key is to listen and understand the client’s needs, and then put together a project team designed specifically for each project. Utilizing advanced information technology allows the client to keep in close contact with the project team and participate fully in the design process, thereby obtaining maximum flexibility and value.

Project Team Approach
Typically, a large firm is organized in a pyramid structure, but at Balay Architects we use a flat organization of autonomous firms and consultants which can be brought together in a customized way for each project. Broadband communication between all members of the project team allows real time access to all phases of the project and enhances information flow to the client. Each uniquely organized project team is headed up by a principal partner at Balay Architects.
Thus, the client gains the full benefits of sophisticated use of information technology in the organizational structure of the project team. This creates value by enabling more work to be produced faster and at a lower cost.
Client Centered Design
At the center of the design process at Balay Architects is the client. We listen to the client through all phases of the project and strive to keep the client involved in all decisions during the design of their project.
The client is afforded many important advantages by this design philosophy -
1. Close association with the Architect in examining the requirements, budget, and building site to define the program and scope of the project.
2. Participation in the creation of multiple design solutions that look beyond the Client’s immediate requirements and adapt to his changing needs.
3. Creation of total interior and exterior environments that are functional and exciting places in which to work and live.
4. Common Sense Design that greatly contributes to project completion on time and within budget.
