CORE Design Group began in 2005 in a converted row home, with a simple goal: do good work with good people. Twenty years and countless projects later, we serve private developers, manufacturers, institutions, and public agencies across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
We pair strong technical skill with a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. We stay responsive, ask the right questions, and follow through—which is why so many of our clients return, project after project.
We design smart, high-performing spaces tailored to the people who use them. Every project is a chance to simplify the complex and work side by side with clients who value honesty, teamwork, and real-world results.
These five values define our work and the relationships we build along the way.
We do what we say we are going to do, building trust as the foundation of strong relationships.
We empower our team & clients to make meaningful decisions by sharing knowledge, resources, & credit.
We embrace change by remaining flexible & responsive, adjusting swiftly to evolving needs.
Our collective efforts make the impossible possible. We support one another, pooling our skills to create impact.
We seek out new challenges with a growth mindset, striving to reach our potential & drive positive change.
Architecture can change lives—even if not every project is built to.
Through CORE Impact, we do a little more good in the world through giving, volunteerism, and local support.
