Architecture
Marshall Craft’s clients and their facility needs are very diverse. The majority of our clients are major institutions that own, occupy, and maintain their own facilities. However, the need to design and build differs for each unique client and project. The common thread is that to accomplish their goals, each of our clients requires a responsive and reliable professional partner who brings the right design talent, discipline, technical expertise, and leadership to the table.
Our 97% repeat work rate for clients with high expectations is our strongest testimonial: We find and do the right thing for each project.
Interior Design
Interior design exists at the intersection of architecture and people. It is both technical and artistic—integrating safety, functionality, and considerations for user wellness while combining color, light, materiality, texture, and sound to engage all the senses. We believe this intersection of the built environment and the human experience makes it vital to listen, understand, and explore our clients’ goals for their organization’s space. Because of our collaborative approach to the design process, we are better able to deliver a high-performing and aesthetically appealing interior.
Facilities Solutions
Marshall Craft’s facilities solutions service ranges from comprehensive building assessments to equipment inventory and planning, process layout assistance, relocation services, facilities document organization and archiving, and more. All are flexible in scope and customized to suit a client’s unique needs. This collaboration strengthens our long-term partnerships while helping our clients anticipate and respond to dynamic organizational and operational changes.
Planning and Programming
Good planning derives from a holistic understanding and appreciation of the client’s existing conditions, mission, and goals. Together, we outline a strategy where the physical environment can evolve over time to support the client’s changing needs. Planning and programming are the processes by which we define the best way forward—the right thing. Marshall Craft understands that successfully managed change starts with a disciplined planning and programming process. During this process, we engage stakeholders, conduct research and documentation, and apply our extensive knowledge of industry space standards, current trends, and the regulatory environment. Our work has resulted in actionable and lasting solutions for our clients.
Adaptive Reuse and Historic Preservation
Much of Marshall Craft’s work involves the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Our team of trained architects and designers works effectively to document, evaluate, and determine the best ways to reconstruct and improve historically significant buildings throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
