OUR PROJECTS
Karluk Design,
through our extensive resume of village projects, is intimately aware of
the fact that the needs of each community far exceed the budgets available
for any capital projects undertaken.
Therefore, it is absolutely critical that any facility constructed
by a community be well thought out so that it can address as many of the
community’s current needs as possible but can also be readily adapted or
modified to address the future needs as funding becomes available.
Karluk
Design’s success with developing projects that address both the immediate
and long term needs of a community is accomplished by actually listening to
what they to say about: what a community wants, what does or does not work
in a given community, how does a community actually use a facility, what
are the capabilities to maintain and to administrate a facility. Karluk Design
then utilizes this village specific information, in conjunction with our
extensive knowledge of other projects, to develop an informal master plan
of the community with the specific project in effect being Phase I of the
long term goal.
Attendant to the success of
a project to meet the physical program needs of a community is the ability
of the project to bring both short term and long term economic benefits to
the community. Initially, benefits
to the community are gained through the construction process by utilizing
local talents to the greatest extent possible to administer the project and
to construct. Typically during the
concept phase of Design Development, Karluk
Design evaluates what the local talent base and skill levels are within the
community and what additional talents can be obtained from neighboring
communities to augment those locally available. Then Karluk
Design tailors the project design, construction details and construction
methodologies to accommodate those local skills that will not only be cost
effective but will ensure quality control.
Karluk
Design has been very successful with tailoring the various aspects of a
project’s construction to give the greatest economic benefit to the
community as possible. Karluk Design’s commitment on a project extends beyond
the contractual relationship and into a partnership with the community to
facilitate their plans and vision for the future.
Examples of our projects
will be added to this website soon.
