The design process, working with PDG.
PDG and the Carters have developed a truly collaborative process in working with their clients.
PDG utilizes the traditional, totally immersive, architectural approach to providing clients a truly personalized design solution. Individual practitioners as well as large multispecialty group practices appreciate PDG’s intensive hands on service.
PDG Cordially invites clients to their studio, located in the Texas Hill Country, just south of Austin. By inviting clients to an intensive design charrett with them at their studio, both a collaborative and an empathetic working relationship can begin to develop.
Here, undisturbed or interrupted, they are able to fashion each clinic's individual design character.

To facilitate this hands-on design process, PDG meticulously maintains an extensive, up-to-date resource library containing thousands of samples of fabric, flooring, wall/ window treatments, as well as current furniture, lighting and dental equipment catalogs.
