We believe in performance based design, a process that augments the efficiency of an organization and its employees.

Functional and aesthetic goals of a project are blended to create efficient and attractive environments that are completed on time and within budget. Each stage of the project is personally monitored by Rayne Sherman, the principal of the firm.

The success of our design methods lead to a high rate of repeat and referral business and the establishment of facility design relationships with prominent corporations, developers, brokers, businesses and individuals. SDG staff employ state‐of‐the‐art techniques and technology to design standard as well as advanced environments.
