Our Story

We understand that the drawings we produce are only a communicative medium to guide the implementation process. We believe in extensive construction involvement combined with a long term commitment to the maturation of the project. We achieve this through our project review program.

Our Mission

To create dynamic places that balance the natural, cultural, economic and architectural elements of a project through artful and creative design.

Our Philosophy

Libra means balance and harmony. Libra Design Group was created to bring balance and harmony to all of our design efforts.
