Stephen Sierra
Administrative Executive Director
Dynamic Physical Therapy
“What seems to be a short time ago I contacted various architectural firms with the intention of deciding whether I needed these services at all to design my new building to meet our growth demands. In the initial review I was rather direct in my questioning. One by one they answered and educated me as to the services they offered, and how exactly they could help develop this project. Greenleaf Architects helped us set our expectations and exceed them from the initial information collection process, to the assimilation of that data into a functioning structure designed to meet not only customer’s needs, but the needs of my great staff.”
This New Urbanist approach to designing cities, towns, and neighborhoods consisted of mostly residential structures as the rapidly growing Dynamic Physical Therapy resulted in one of the first few commercial structures to join TerraBella (a Traditional Neighborhood Development). Maintaining high-quality materials, architectural elements and overall aesthetic were important factors to TerraBella. How can this be achieved without blowing the budget?
By working closely with the owner, Greenleaf was able to create an extremely efficient floor plan for their daily operations, satisfy the need for growth and expansion of therapeutic services all while complying with TerraBella’s design guidelines and review processes. The design resulted in a high-quality product within a reasonable price per square foot for construction; just $110 per square foot! Material selection, efficient design, and wood frame construction helped achieve the low price per square foot.
