Assembledge+
Since its inception, Assembledge+ has steadfastly pursued an architectural vision rooted in a dedication to collaborative efforts and craftsmanship. This commitment seeks to forge enduring spaces that prioritize user experience, foster innovation, and uphold sustainability principles. Founded and spearheaded by David Thompson, AIA, the name Assembledge+ was purposefully chosen to encapsulate the firm’s zeal for “assembling” the often intricate components of the design process. This results in an architecture that is timeless, attuned to its environment uplifts the human spirit. The “+” symbolizes an approach that comprehends the comprehensive interplay of interconnected elements, recognizing that architecture transcends mere drawings and an assembly of building materials. It encompasses a collaborative journey with clients, specialized consultants, builders, and, of course, the team members. It also entails an ongoing exploration and innovation – both programmatic and technological – to pursue optimal, tailored solutions for each project. Our design journey embarks with fundamental questions. What is the purpose and vision? What are the aspirations? A meticulous analysis underpins these dialogues, encompassing the site – the property, the adjacent community, and the client’s unique needs and aspiration. The resultant architecture seamlessly marries these imperatives with materials, technology, craftsmanship, and form.
