Architecture

Our Way

At SAIC, our work is about relationships and collaboration. The open exchange of ideas and our expertise allows us to create concepts that express themselves through a process of framing the right questions until the design solution emerges. We thrive on generating new ideas within this kind of cooperative team environment, and the ideas we generate are often innovative and enterprising.

Multidisciplinary Team

SAIC's architecture team practices the holistic tradition of the "master builder." In application, this means that we have an active interest and involvement in all aspects of your project, including everything from master planning and landscape architecture to fire protection and sustainability. Our range of professional training and experience can instill confidence and trust throughout your project.

Comprehensive Architectural Services

Government, institutional, and commercial organizations nationwide have recognized SAIC for excellence in design of facilities that are functional, inspiring, and comfortable. We offer a full suite of services to support all aspects of your design project:

• Building information modeling - Three-dimensional dynamic building modeling boosts design productivity and enhances construction by enabling integrated project delivery, real-time collaboration, and minimizing change orders in the field.
• Fire protection - Protecting your people, property, and business is a fundamental responsibility. SAIC designs fully integrated fire protection and life-safety systems as safeguards against fire hazards.
• Interior design and landscape architecture - Both the interior and exterior spaces of a building should achieve seamless harmony with the architecture, engineering systems, and environment. SAIC's interior and landscape designs create balance between the built and natural environments.
• Master planning - When looking ahead, whether for three years or 30 years, a well-planned site must serve both immediate and future needs. SAIC's master planning services provide strategies for both short- and long-term growth and development.
• Program management - Architectural projects can involve multiple designers, contractors, and stakeholders. SAIC program management services facilitate project delivery in accordance with schedule, cost, quality, and safety objectives.
• Site planning - Successful land-use planning adds value to property and to the community. SAIC develops functional and affordable site planning and selection project solutions designed to augment natural site features and endure the test of time.
• Sustainable/green design - At SAIC, we strive to achieve the highest standards of environmental stewardship by balancing fiscal goals, functional design, and social responsibility in each and every project.
