Discovering an Architecture Firm in Washington DC
which Includes Skilled Hospital ArchitectsYour
choice of an Architecture Firm in Washington, DC
runs the gamut of small one man shops to
impressive teams of architects. When considering
building large projects like hospitals, schools,
churches, and office buildings do you want to
trust your project to a single person?The Power
of Architecture TeamworkWhen you work with a
small architecture firm you face one significant
problem. You may discover at the moment you have
come up with a new idea, or uncover a problem,
they are not available for hours or sometimes
days. Your architect may be involved in many
projects and cannot dedicate his attention to
your project. When you work with a team of
architects and their support personnel who have
been assigned to your project the experience is
very different. Even if the lead architect is
away for a few days other team members are ready
to answer your questions and solve the problems
immediately.The Unique Problems of Medical
FacilitiesWhile every architectural project has
unique requirements medical facilities increase
the complexity. The massive amounts of rules,
regulations, and red tape associated with these
projects can have your head spinning. When you
are starting the design of a new medical office,
hospital wing, or even an entire hospital
facility it is reassuring to have specialized
Hospital Architects taking on your
project.Hospital architects have studied all of
the material requirements, the regulations, and
understand systems must be designed to eliminate
dust and bacteria transfer. Their specialized
knowledge is not something an architect can pick
up overnight. It takes experience to understand
all the implications of making minor changes in
system designs.
