Integrated Design Solutions
IDS is a full-service architectural and engineering firm providing comprehensive design services to serve the following markets: education, healthcare, commercial, data centers, research and development, sports, recreation and athletics, and industrial. Serving primarily southeastern Michigan clients, we are thoughtfully expanding our expertise regionally and growing our staff appropriately to answer these needs. Our in-house energy managers and technology designers give another invaluable dimension to our professional offerings so that we can treat your project as holistically and efficiently as possible. Our culture is one of inclusion and integration, and we value our employees first and foremost. Knowing we can always learn from each other, every person’s voice is important and sought, and we cross pollinate ideas among our disciplines and personal experiences. As focused as we are on our customer service and working hard, we also play as hard. Picnics, community service and holiday parties are all part of our growth as a company and as human beings. It’s who we are.
Purpose
Integrated Design Solutions, LLC was founded in November 1999 by the seven former principals of Giffels Hoyem Basso, LLC (GHB), who practiced together there as managing partners for ten years. Their trademarks at GHB were their ability to integrate architecture and engineering into cohesive design solutions, as well as their unending commitment to exceptional customer service. Thus, Integrated Design Solutions was born. Moving forward, our emphasis remains on wholly integrated solutions, and we call to the front the DESIGN aspect of our name. From architectural to engineering answers, we’re all designers pushing the envelopes, asking “What if...?” and working together to build the very best solutions for you, the Owner.
Vision
Our leadership remains energetic, passionate and focused on its mission statement: “We believe in uncompromising customer service beginning with quality Integrated Design Solutions for our clients. Our commitment to progressive vision, integrity and leadership is carried through every member of our staff. We believe our workplace should be built around its greatest asset: our team. Our workplace represents our culture and our identity, and our designers know this means our space must do more than ever before. Whether our project challenges are employee engagement, facilitating collaboration, or structuring resources to maintain work / life balance, our approach to design and problem solving is uniquely tailored to each company we work with.
Mission
Here at IDS, we value the beliefs, thought processes, attitudes and ideologies of our staff, and encourage innovative thinking from all IDS members regardless of discipline. Our mission statement is clear to all of our employees: we are to exhibit the highest level of vision, integrity and leadership with all of our clients, and we pledge nothing less to those we serve. We believe every employee is responsible to make things happen—employing creative problem solving to go above and beyond, and working to create an environment where that passion and drive is supported in every facet.
Additional Culture Details
We understand the importance of giving back, and recognize that there are a wide variety of needs in our communities that can use our help. That’s why we work to raise money each quarter for a charity of our choosing as a way of giving back to the community we love. We’ve organized group raffles, volunteered at charity events, and hosted countless baked goods sales – where all contributions go toward that quarter’s charity of choice. We encourage you to share our passion for giving, caring, and impacting the world around us.
Values
- Collaboration
- Collaboration is vital to the success of our projects. Our culture is very INTEGRATED by nature and our architects, interior designers, and engineers work together from beginning to end. Most importantly, through a combination of a strong commitment to client service and stakeholder engagement, our clients are key to our collaborative process.
