About

Mission

To sustain a culture of collaboration and outstanding design built on respect, maintaining our team commitment to humbly bring architecture for change into the discussion for the common good.

Approach

DIGroupArchitecture is a process-centric architecture and design firm. We work tirelessly with our clients to understand their priorities, evaluate the physical and budgetary constraints, and communicate potential options. As a result we create end products that help our clients achieve their vision, with unwavering attention to detail at every scale.

It is our unbiased approach to scale that helps us evolve in the changing climate of contemporary architecture. As many of our clients’ priorities have shifted away from ground-up architecture to renovations and adaptive reuse, our interiors studio had flourish and out graphic design studio has developed a diverse portfolio of projects in environmental graphics, signage and way-finding, and brand identity. 80% of our business comes from repeat clients. Our best work comes from the relationships we develop with our clients, and we aim to keep them for life.

Our Story

DIGroupArchitecture, a Small Business and Minority Owned Business, was formed in 2006 as a merger of four competing architectural firms. We had originally joined forces as a consortium providing services to the New Jersey Schools Development Authority at a time of historically large court mandated construction funding for New Jersey’s public schools. Known as “NJK-12” the consortium was extremely successful at delivering some of the state’s largest and most significant projects.

The collaboration was so successful that the founding principals decided to formally merge to become “Design Ideas Group,” taking full advantage of the complement of experience each brought to the table. This allowed our accomplished Academic Studio to continue to thrive, while creating additional Studios for Healthcare and Senior Living.

Over time, out clients identified us as “DIG.” Since we place a premium on listening to our clients, Design Ideas Group became DIGroupArchitecture – born of a collaborative partnership – and we value collaborative partnerships. We seek out talent that complements our own for every project we undertake.
