History

Cornerstone Design-Architects has grown into a cutting edge, yet client-driven design firm

during its 25-year history. Originally incorporated under the name of W.N. Marsh

Associates Ltd. Architects in January of 1990 as an affiliate of The Horst Group. February of

1995, the company name was changed to Cornerstone Design Ltd. Architects. In 1997,

Dale R. Yoder was named President and became a fifty percent owner of the firm. In

May 2007, a new chapter was started as Cornerstone Design-Architects underwent an

ownership restructuring, with a goal of providing even more dedicated levels of client

commitment.

FIRM PROFILE

Computer Capability

In our desire to stay on the cutting edge of technology, we have utilized Autodesk®

Revit® Architecture since 2006 and have fully integrated Building Information Modeling

(BIM) into our architectural design process. Revit® represents the next generation in

computer aided design. It melds the 2D and 3D worlds and creates a comprehensive

database that describes the proposed building. Revit® allows us to design, visualize and

document in a more coordinated way with greater productivity and more accurate and

complete construction documents. We are able to three-dimensionally model the

structural, mechanical, and electrical building components and incorporate them into our

architectural model.

Services & Project Approach

We are committed to listening to your needs/visions and to understanding your

operational procedures and requirements. We will work with you to shape the identified

needs and goals into your building design. Throughout the process, we believe it is

important to have continued interchange and clear communication. We consider the

customer to be key to the partnership to help us evaluate the most important criteria

between cost, schedule, and quality. Together we will design a facility that meets or

exceeds your expectation.

FIRM PROFILE

Interior Design

In order to streamline projects we offer in house Interior Design Services.

SPACE ANALYSIS AND PROGRAMMING

As a component of the programming phase of a project; we distinguish a client’s operating

requirements of how the space will be used and how people will move through the space;

we consider the client’s design objectives and we adhere to their scope and anticipated

outcome. Establishing this information through site verification is critical for appropriate

planning.

SPACE PLANNING

Equipped with information from the

programming phase of the project,

Cornerstone Design can sketch

preliminary design plans that outline room

locations and adjacencies, and show how

the new area arrangement will offer

better workflow and more efficient work

spaces.

INTERIOR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

We make interior spaces functional,

safe, and aesthetic, by working closely

with clients to cultivate color schemes,

visual themes, and materials and finish

selections. We can also design custom

millwork to meet the client’s needs.

FIRM PROFILE

DECORATIVE LIGHTING AND FURNITURE SELECTION

Cornerstone can offer services for the selection and specification of decorative lighting and

furniture.

ARTWORK, SIGNAGE & ACCESSORIES

Artwork, signage and accessories bestow the final touch to an environment. Cornerstone

Design can give our clients a broad range of style choices, due to our experience and

particular skill in this field.

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

After the space plan, millwork,

interior finishes, furniture,

decorative lighting, artwork,

signage and accessories have

been approved, an official

construction drawing set can be

developed. These drawings are

then used for bid purposes and

finally for construction. Plans,

elevations, details, schedules,

legends, and specifications are

included in this drawing set.
