“Heimsath Architects consensus approach severely minimized the number of members who withdrew because of hurt feelings, being ‘left out’, etc. We plan to have Heimsath Architects for our Phase II construction anticipated in the future.”
“The Retreat which inaugurated the conceptual design phase of our project was extremely
well-planned and executed by Heimsath Architects. The outcome . . . . . was a brilliantly conceived general design for construction. Consensus, based on mutual involvement and shared dreams, was their focus, and this hoped-for agreement was achieved through Heimsath Architects’ efforts.”

Preparing for a Project and Master Planning
Historic Preservation & Restoration
We have maintained a focus on architecture and design that lasts through the ages, receiving more than 50 design awards and citations throughout our long history. We offer exceptional experience with new site development, renovations and additions. Our designs blend innovation with tradition, making them unique, yet contributing to the existing site, its buildings, and its neighborhood.
When people have different expectations, resolution is tough under any circumstance; it is especially complicated for building programs. Our skill in bringing people together, in getting groups to be constructively involved, and in resolving disputes quickly and effectively are key ingredients in our work. The Design Retreat Workshop is the result of five decades of work with hundreds of communities.
Our firm has developed a long-standing commitment to community participation in design. Each member of our staff shares in the energy and creativity the firm brings to our efforts. Our team brings years of professional expertise from a diversity of backgrounds.
By facilitating early participation of the general contractor through our partnering process we benefit from real world construction information, costing, and detailing. Our work continues through the end of construction and into the warranty period.
