DOMAIN ARCHITECTURE Building a Better Community
I
n 2003, principals Michael Buturla and Joey Wild founded Domain Design Architecture with only two desks, a coke machine, and a dream. Focused on client service and satisfaction, the two began to build the relationships that would make up the foundation of Domain Architecture as it stands today. A key maneuver was the merger with Noland and Wong Architects in 2013, and most recently, the promotion of Brandon Burr into the fourth partner. Now with a staff of 18, including 8 licensed professionals, the team at Domain continues to reflect back to the original mantra established by the founding partners: SERVICE. Domain is “fueled by personal client relationships and community interaction.” While their designs may win awards along the journey, the priority is exceptional service. They have an inclusive office where the entire staff plays hard but works even harder for and with their clients. What sets Domain apart from other architecture and interior design firms is the true family atmosphere that extends beyond the walls of the firm. The bonds they form with their clients last well longer than the time it takes to do the job; oftentimes, the staff and clients become friends, reengaging within the community, whether at the ballpark, church, or the local grocery store.
