Kolar Design’s methodology is marked by collaboration, understanding, and a holistic approach. Kolar works with their clients to design places and processes that create a total experience for the people their customers care about – their customers, staff, visitors, associates, clients, and community. Kolar’s design process starts by listening to their clients and to the people who use their spaces. Kolar believes that listening leads to understanding; from understanding Kolar Design creates an environment that attracts, informs, communicates, and inspires.
