quality design Swaim Associates,
Ltd. has a long history of innovative approaches to fostering community
and well-being in neighborhood and community centers, campuses, public
facilities, and educational settings. We act as a problem
solver, addressing the client's functional requirements and objectives
within the constraints of cost, schedule, site, and climate. The firm
strives to create innovative, contemporary architecture appropriate to
the traditions, culture, and ecology of the southwest.
personal service Swaim Associates,
Ltd. is committed to providing a complete professional service with emphasis
on personal attention to each project. There is always a direct, continuous
involvement of firm principals and dedicated, prompt service to meet your
schedule. Drawing upon the diverse
design skills and experience of our architects and consulting engineers,
we assemble teams tailored to the particular requirements of each project.
The client plays a major role in the team, communicating needs and priorities,
and participating in the decision making process. The community, as well
as the client, is kept in mind throughout planning and design. The building
industry is also part of the team, from design through construction. Although small enough
to permit a close architect-client relationship, we are capable of handling
projects of major scope in conjunction with our engineering and design
consultants.
technical expertise The staff of Swaim
Associates, Ltd. continually strives to advance their knowledge of systems
and materials for sustainable design in order to provide innovative ideas
for projects. Producing quality construction documents is a priority as
well as using technology to the client's advantage.
