INSIDE OUT - Planned Success
Success starts from within — the individual, the business, the building. It is imperative to know what’s going on inside before designing the outside: Before the chair, the sitter. Before the floor, the activities. Before the office, the objectives. Buildings serve many functions—they contain, shelter and inspire;  they signal, define and proclaim. But their first obligation is to elevate the organization within— to make that entity better at accomplishing its tasks and aspirations. In accepting this idea, we contend that design has to start within; it has to be inside out.

BUSINESS, NOT BUILDINGS - Zoom in, Zoom out
The most important parts of design are thinking and planning. Thinking about people. Planning their experience. Thinking and planning. Not the most stirring concepts, but oh so crucial to effecting intelligent solutions. We’re here to help you think hard about your business environment and the people in it: who you want to be there, how long you want them to stay, how you want them to feel and what you’d like them to do. Then we plan to make it a reality. 

WORK BEST - Space as Software
Smart companies aren’t waiting for the future; they’re living it. Which means “the office of the future” is now—what you need, when and where you need it. Which is why PDR has shifted the conversation about workspace: imagine your office as software rather than hardware: usercontrolled, flexible and right-sized rather than standardized, rigid and entitlement-sized.

RESEARCH
For 30 years PDR has worked for the research leaders of the energy and business consulting industries. This prolonged exposure to the people and processes driving these progressive enterprises has given us a unique vantage point from which to evolve as a hybrid management/architectural consulting company. Our research group has chronicled this empirical data and these observations into guidelines, workshops and lectures for the benefit of our clients.
