Our Process

Our Process

Our single-studio design culture collaborates with clients to shape extraordinary places. Overlap and cross-pollination are essential to how we work. Research, analysis and exploration inform everything we do. We use art and materials to connect people and place.

Duda|Paine’s ability to solicit a breadth of stakeholder input and distill it down to key ideas and strategies is resulting in an impressive plan that is capable of guiding UNC Asheville and enhancing how the university is perceived for the next 30 years and beyond.

There are not many international design firms that maintain the involvement of the founding partners in the day to day of the work the way you do. The other big factor that you bring to the design team is that you analyze each problem with many design solutions. The open-minded approach helps the whole team to buy into a particular concept.

Our Foundation believes in the power of collaborations to truly improve health and our future. Every element of this new facility has been designed to create a place to be experienced and to facilitate interactions between Wellness, Fitness and Medicine.

When we at Duke began this process, we recognized that the design of the Student Wellness Center, and the execution of that design into very successful architecture, would have direct impact on our students, on their lives, their health and the services available to them. The project presented the opportunity to simplify how students pursue health and wellness and encourage a more proactive approach to overall well-being. Our collaboration with Duda|Paine and the resulting building achieves that vision and more. The Student Wellness Center is a destination spot on campus.

The work and vision and commitment of Duda|Paine has allowed Duke Integrative Medicine to instantly convey to the world what the healthcare of the future can and should be. This has become the powerful catalyst for change that we hoped it would be.

Duda|Paine’s ability to perform on projects as varied as small retrofit renovations to re-envisioning a Greenfield site with a few historic buildings into a new campus has answered our needs against the challenges of the North Carolina education funding system. Their talent, thoroughness, from concept development through project completion has allowed NCSSM to gain more from those allocated resources than we imagined.”

We did our due diligence and research and made a decision. We wanted a first-class architect, which we clearly think Duda|Paine is.
