Our creative approach to form results in enduring buildings of purpose and imagination. By focusing on programmatic and spatial arrangements, in addition to form, we design environments that are experientially rich.

We seek to integrate the latest in proven technology with exceptional design to provide solutions that are: sustainable, simple, adaptable to change, efficient and safe. In a world of ever more valuable and constrained resources, design of building systems and campus infrastructure demands careful attention and wise choices. We work closely with those who occupy facilities as well as those who will operate them to make sure that there is a good long term fit between design and client objectives. We bring the particular expertise of each discipline - mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, lighting, building controls, information technologies, commissioning, testing and balancing - to create an integrated team that best fits the project needs.

We strive to create sensory, tactile, and spatially rich environments that are extensions of the architectural ideas which frame a building. As an integrated team, interior designers work alongside architects and engineers, engaging with our clients to program, plan, document and furnish holistic and responsible projects.

The interior design studio represents a significant percentage of our design staff, and cultivates a distinctive identity within the Ballinger community. Our portfolio of interior environments stretches across a range of corporate, academic, research and healthcare settings, inspiring collaboration, intellectual interaction, invention, and healing. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff possesses a wide array of skills, including specific expertise in workplace strategies, programming, space planning, furniture specification, and lighting. All share a commitment to a coherent and harmonious design aesthetic which employs concepts, materials, and details that will stand the test of time.

Ballinger utilizes a collaborative approach to investigate and transform rich historic edifices into structures that are relevant and viable today and into the future. We achieve this through a fully-integrated design and technology-based analysis to determine the viability of options that will yield functional and feasible solutions. Our target market is owners with historic structures that are seeking options and opportunities for rehabilitation and reuse. Ballinger provides a holistic approach to their buildings allowing clients to develop comprehensive models and associated pricing to assist them in identifying the true viability of their project at points in the process where that knowledge is most valuable and can assist with their strategic planning.

Our approach to Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse is fueled by our legacy of relentless innovation while honoring the past -- Transformative Design.

Workplace Strategy at Ballinger builds on experience gained through diverse and technical project types to design evidence-based, high-performing environments.

As trusted partners, our holistic design approach encompasses an understanding of the space occupants and other stakeholders. Data points gathered through hands-on evaluations provide clients with actionable feedback that informs an organization’s decision making process.

A master plan outlines both short term initiatives and a long range vision. Ballinger’s approach to master planning is built around long term objectives, but acknowledges and respects short term perspectives.

The most challenging aspect of a planning strategy is to create an environment of investigation that allows all involved to see beyond the constraints of the existing state and envision the long term possibilities.
