It's all design

We don’t separate architecture from interiors because great places aren’t experienced that way. ADC approaches every project as a whole, working closely with our clients to create spaces that are thoughtful, distinctive, functional, and uniquely theirs.

Design that works in the real world

Great design has to do more than look good. It has to respond to the site, the client, the budget, the schedule, and the people who will ultimately use it. ADC stays engaged from the earliest ideas through construction, bringing design thinking, practical problem-solving, and close collaboration to every stage to create places that are thoughtful, distinctive, and built for the way people actually use them.

Built on relationships that last

Some of our best work comes from clients who invite us back, project after project.

“ADC has been a reliable design partner as we deliver Ashley projects across the country. They understand both the brand and the realities of construction, and they help us move from renovations to ground-up work with consistency and practical problem solving.”

Aaron Hodgdon, President

Hodgdon Group

“Our projects across the western U.S. come with different sites, tenants, jurisdictions, and constraints. ADC is responsive and adaptable, and they consistently help us find solutions that strengthen the property while keeping the project moving.”

Kyle Godat, Director

Brixton

“What has made ADC a strong partner is their ability to balance creativity with execution. They bring new ideas to our renovations, but they also understand schedules, existing conditions, and the operational needs that must be solved for the design to succeed.”

Noriyoshi Miyata, Senior Vice President

Mitsuwa Corporation

“ADC brings a strong understanding of retail design and landlord vision to our projects. They know how to balance appearance, tenant needs, construction cost, and ownership priorities, which helps us make better decisions earlier.”

Rod Astarabadi, President

Pacific Castle

“Working with ADC gives us a design team that understands both retail and food service. They think about operations, circulation, branding, and the customer at the same time, which is especially valuable in smaller formats where every square foot matters.”

Daniel Liu, Construction Manager

Tawa Services Inc.

“ADC was brought to our business through a developer to design our very first project in California. From the very first day, the team was committed to deliver the best service we could have. With a lot of professionalism and very mindful of the details, they helped us overcome the challenge building in California can be. It has been a great partnership for 9 projects now. And counting! Thank you for helping us build our brand on the West Coast!”

Cinthia Carlini Paraizo, Architect Project Manager

Wild Fork Foods

“ADC has been an invaluable partner across our campus, guiding everything from interior renovations to major exterior improvements. They listen carefully, navigate complex constraints, and deliver practical designs that genuinely elevate the day-to-day experience for our students, faculty, and staff.”

Donald H. Davis, EdD, Associate VP

Azusa Pacific University

“ADC understands the variety of spaces we develop, from retail renovations to preparation for restaurants. They adapt their thinking to each format while keeping the design practical, efficient, and focused on the customer experience.”

Cristin Melton, Director, Construction

Tanger

“Our projects can vary significantly in size and scope, and ADC brings the same level of attention to each one. They ask the right questions early, work closely with our team, and develop solutions that are both creative and realistic.”

Andy Gibson, Sr. Manager, Tenant Coordination

Tanger

“ADC was pleasant to work with and very accommodating to our needs in the field. The ADC team and our team had open lines of communication for anything that we had a question on, and the team worked diligently and quickly to resolve any issues that arose. I know that if they are the architects we are working with, we have laid the foundation for a successful, cost-effective project. I look forward to many more projects with them.”
