CDR creates visionary Master Plans for highway infrastructure and urban development projects across the country. CDR's project experience allows us to work collaboratively with stakeholders and other design professionals to create special spaces that find their inspiration in the history and traditions of a particular community. All the work is site-specific, inspired by the people, the place, the context, as well as by whom it will be viewed, used and appreciated. While most of these spaces are functional, they also incorporate a sophisticated and compelling story that is woven into the fabric of the space itself.

Throughout the entire design process, we work collaboratively with our clients during:
PRELIMINARY DESIGN PHASE:Research the community's Culture, Aesthetics, History, Values, Environment, & Architecture Develop Goals with Project Team Meet with Constituents Identify Potential Locations: Bridge / Highway Design: Retaining Walls, Precast Panels, Tilt-Up Walls, Soil Nail Walls, Piers, Columns, Pier Caps, Parapets, Wing Walls, Abutments, Lighting, Sidewalks, Railings, Barriers, Slopewalls... Urban Environments: Facades, Lighting, Public Artwork, Bollards, Tile, Columns, Seating, Landscape, Hardscape, Mosaics, Fountains, Parking Garages, Sidewalks, Bike Paths, Paving... |
INTERMEDIATE DESIGN PHASE:Develop Overall Thematic Approach Develop Themes for Each Location or Component Determine How Each Component Works Together Identify Cost Savings Realized By Integrating Aesthetics into Superstructure Build 3D models and create environments Create Conceptual Designs in 3D Develop Designs with Stakeholders |
FINAL DESIGN PHASE:Write Narrative Report Create an Overall Site Layout Make 3D Renderings Develop 3D Animations Define Cost Estimates Create AutoCAD Plan Sheets of Design Elements Write Specifications and Notes for Plan Sheets Develop Multimedia Presentation Present Final Designs to Community, Owners, and Project Design Team |
