DESIGN

Achieving excellence in built work is the raison d'etre of this firm. For us, this excellence means satisfying the client's needs, by means of a uniquely beautiful resolution of the situation at hand.

George Claflen's expertise in design and participatory organization of the design process itself has facilitated successful projects as diverse as an elementary school on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona, a senior citizen center in West Philadelphia, highly specialized office space for the EPA, renovations to several YWCA branches, and private residences. The design process of this firm is enormously enriched by George Claflen's twenty-nine years of travel to architecturally significant projects in North America, Europe, and India, and his continuing dialogue with a diverse international mix of architects and planners.
