DFDG Architecture
DFDG Architecture was founded in 1970 by John W. Dick, AIA, and quickly established itself as one of Arizona's premier architectural firms. We pride ourselves on our ability to craft strong, innovative design solutions while factoring in the ecology of the site. With a focus on client needs, we make projects that function, perform and last. While keeping in mind the client's budget, schedule and functional requirements, we offer direct principal leadership on every project. Our highly-talented architecture and design teams stay actively engaged with the client throughout the entire process to ensure the design style on the outside is no different than the design style on the inside. As a firm of high integrity, we accept and deal with issues head-on to get things done quickly and efficiently. We believe in completely open collaboration between the builder, the owner/client and our firm. Many of our projects are also completed in collaboration with other design firms, bringing in specialized skill-sets that help create the best possible project outcome. This transparent, sharing approach means clients gets exactly what they need in every aspect of the project. Our unique, client-centric approach, open collaboration, and "no-egos" design philosophy have helped us rise to the top in architecture, interiors and land planning in both the public and private sectors. That means we set all egos aside and get completely focused on what our clients need. After all, it's not about us – it's about the client.
