“We’re incredibly excited to welcome PDO to the team. PDO fills a strategic gap both in our workplace interiors capabilities and our expansion into the Phoenix market. We are aligned in our values, offer complementary services, and have already been successfully partnering on several projects together,” Williams said. “We’re looking forward to leveraging one another’s strengths and anticipate a significant increase in new synergies as a result of the joining of the two firms.”
“We believe design is better with collaboration, and that our firms will be better together,” said Kerri Swischuk, Principal, NCIDQ, with PDO. “It’s been our longstanding strategic goal to align ourselves with an architectural partner that would enable PDO to provide planning and other architectural services that naturally complement our well-established workplace practice. Joining with RDC creates that capability and allows us to provide a complete menu of services on more complex projects for our clients.”
PDO and RDC are currently collaborating on a new office location for a bank branch in Southern California, an office redevelopment for the City of Beverly Hills, a 60,000-square-foot office interiors renovation for a tech company in Leesburg, Virginia and RDC’s office space in Loudoun County, Virginia.
