Who We Are

The mission of Lab|8 Designs is to improve upon the conventional building culture found today.

In our endeavor for progress we develop both traditional and alternative design solutions to effectively, sustainably and economically solve our clients specific design objectives. Inherent in each design solution is a strong connection to the design fundamentals that our firm was founded upon; collaboration, sustainability, and innovation.

Since our founding in 2007 Lab|8 has worked to develop our services to consistently include seamless integration of design innovation, sustainability objectives, and cost control measures for every client. Our combined 34 years of professional experience in the field allows us the ability to execute an entire project as a whole, while prioritizing the various project-specific objectives or design elements that are attainable within one’s budget.

Ultimately, achieving project success lies in following a truly integrated design process in a collaborative working environment; one in which the best solutions rise to the forefront through discussion and refinement, delivering to our clients unique, and elegant design solutions supportive of their goals.
