Method Studio

Method Studio is an architecture, interiors and planning firm with its office on West Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. Projects run through performing arts venues, higher education buildings, workplaces, and sports and recreation facilities.

The people there talk about the work in terms of care: care for the buildings, for the clients and for each other. They describe a long-term interest in making things better through design, and a method they call appropriate, significant, purposeful and responsible. Original thinking is something the studio claims for itself, and it wants the results to be inspiring as well as useful.
