Focusing on large-scale renovations and new construction projects, ADI guides each project from the initial conceptual phase through construction and installation. Crafting spaces that reflect a moment in time, Downing’s approach nurtures trust, the sharing of stories, and the deep connections that reveal how people most want to live and feel. While the firm’s process is by-design, it is also organic and intuitive - guided by the dynamic interplay of people’s desires, histories, and dreams. Downing seeks inspiration in stories well told and places near and far, designing spaces for celebration and rejuvenation.
