Our expertise spans a broad spectrum of project types and scales —from new construction and adaptive reuse to deep energy retrofits and renovations—drawing on both national and international best practices.
In addition to our architectural and planning services, DREAM offers alternate services that help envision, plan, and activate projects. Drawing on deep national and international experience, we support public- and private-sector partners across diverse geographies. DREAM Collaborative’s early-phase services help turn ideas into clear, actionable project direction.
Through Concept Visioning Packages, Zoning and Massing Studies, and Site Readiness Reports, we clarify goals and translate site conditions and regulations into actionable design guidance. These tools establish a clear understanding of what can be built and support confident early decision-making.
Our services ensure projects are both equitable and deliverable. Equity Impact Assessments guide socially responsible outcomes, while Affordable Housing Design Kits streamline the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective, inclusive housing on time and on budget.
Together, these alternate services reduce risk, align stakeholders, and accelerate project momentum. They provide clients with practical, strategic insights to move projects forward with clarity and confidence.
