Firm Philosophy

It is the objective of HFP/Ambuske Architects, Inc. to plan and design innovative health facility projects which specifically meet your program requirements, have an effective functional plan to optimize operating efficiencies, and are within the financial capabilities and goals set by your institution.

HFP/Ambuske Architects, Inc. utilizes a User Need Design Methodology during the "planning process" to optimize client involvement. This methodology is accomplished by a clear-cut design phase, on-site meetings/work sessions are scheduled with Department Heads, Chiefs of Service, Physicians, Nurses, Technical Staff and Administration to determine needs and develop conceptual solutions to meet the defined needs. At the conclusion of the design phase, all participants sign-off on the design of their respective departments, assuring their agreement with the developed product.

During the construction phase, the communicative process is continued with regularly scheduled meetings and regularly prepared reports by HFP/Ambuske Architects, Inc., documenting the status of all activities.

This "planning process" insures your involvement, and, more specifically, that of the individual users, with clearly defined communication links throughout the design/construction process. This provides a quality product which best serves your patients, staff, and institution.
