General Info

ABOUT Shugart Bates is committed to a comprehensive design approach that combines large scale thinking with the artfulness of a small design studio. We have projects on the boards that range from large mixed-use projects to intimate interiors. Our design solutions are informed by the attention to craft required for smaller projects combined with the disciplined rigor demanded by large scale work. By designing at opposite ends of the scale we engage disciplines as varied as urban planning and interior design to enable the creation of inspiring places. We work closely with our clients to stretch the creative envelope regardless of project size, program or budget. As a principal-led practice, key designers are directly and intimately involved with each project. The relationships we build with our clients are based on trust and accountability. We focus on the interaction between people and their surroundings in order to create spaces of enduring beauty and relevance. We believe in the power of good design to transform and elevate the quality of our daily life. Our projects are successful because they are driven by great ideas and delivered with technical expertise. We strive to create design solutions that are relevant, durable and age with grace. We are committed to making positive long term contributions to the built environment and to help improve the quality of our increasingly dense cities.
