Philosophy

Partners Betsey Olenick Dougherty, FAIA, LEED AP, Brian Paul Dougherty, FAIA, LEED AP and Lai-Yin Cheah, AIA, share a belief in social responsibility which is a fundamental element in every project completed by the firm. The resulting body of work from Dougherty + Dougherty puts to rest the perception of projects being “good enough for government work.” In the hands of Dougherty + Dougherty, good enough for public work is measured by the highest ideals. Subsequently, projects completed by Dougherty + Dougherty are filled with optimism, demonstrating the ability to connect social, and therefore environmental, responsibility with design excellence, regardless of budget,  schedule or regulatory constraints.
