Our Approach
Our Approach
We know you need the space you are looking at to work for you -- and reflect your values. We'll provide any or all of the following:
- First, we will listen to you -- to who you are, to what you want to accomplish, to your goals and your budget.
- This will result in written and graphic sketches that illustrate an understanding of your wishes
- Plans and visual images of alternatives that may be possible
- Augmented sketches and images from your own (or your realtor's, or your friend's) plans and photographs
- Exploration of alternatives for your review
- An implementation plan (phasing, budget, schedule) that you are comfortable with
- Advice on how to talk to your architect or contractor to meet your goals
- Client representative services (we can manage the project for you)
Your space will reflect your Values
The space will fulfill your needs, and be a reflection of your values, and how you want to live.

Meet the Team
Stephen Campbell
Founder & CEO
Stephen Campbell is a skilled and dedicated capital project manager. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1979, and his Master of Architecture in Urban Design at Harvard in 1981. He opened his own architecture office in upper Manhattan, practicing architecture and community development in Harlem and the South Bronx. In 1990 he entered public service in New York City’s Department of Design and Construction, and rapidly rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Assistant Commissioner, over capital construction for the public service agencies of Health, Human Services, Fire, Children, Aging and the Homeless.
In 1996 he returned to the private sector, reconstituting his office as a sustainability and infrastructure development consultancy. In 2004, with a growing interest in development in the Middle East, he moved to Beirut, Lebanon, teaching Architecture and capital planning at the American University of Beirut. In addition, he worked at the international engineering firm, of Dar Al Handassah’s Planning Department, where he worked on master planning efforts in Erbil in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, in Oman, establishing areas of historic and natural heritage, and in Northern Jordan the strategic planning for a logistics hub. Shortly after returning to the States, in 2008 he reentered public service at what is now Washington, DC’s Department of General Services.
There, he created the Planning Office of the Department of General Services, where he serves on numerous inter-agency task forces, including those for industrial sites, public safety and parks and recreation, and continues to elevate the role of integrated planning and strategic development within the District. The Planning Office led the effort to create Short Term Family Housing in order to close the DC General Family Shelter. Planning also administers DGS’ Facility Condition Assessments, and is also involved in urban agriculture.
