Shaw Hofstra + Associates currently consists of about a dozen architects and interior designers. For each project, the firm's principal, Craig Shaw, is assisted by a project designer and appropriate staff, creating a team that participates fully in the programming, planning, design, and implementation of our client's projects. In addition, each staff member is aware of each project's status and is available to assist with any project if necessary.
We believe that good design is based on good communication. We pride ourselves on listening carefully to clients and to understanding their circumstances, expectations and budgets. We then use our knowledge and technical expertise to translate this information into design that works. The project that results meets the clients special needs and balances quality, aesthetics, and function.
The environment at SH+A is that of a studio. It is open space, friendly to conversation among all architects and designers. Open communication and a staff with diverse talents enriches the design process by making use of each person's special expertise.
