About Our Firm
In 2005 Eric Wilbur and Ziad Elias Demian established demian\wilbur\architects studio with the belief that architects, designers and planners are engaged in processes which yield places and products that touch people’s lives deeply. With this significant role within society comes a serious and consequential responsibility. This core belief guides our work on each project whether it is urban planning, a mixed-use development, an educational facility, a workplace, restaurant, retail, or residential work. demian\wilbur\architects has positioned itself to pursue and design projects that create the best opportunities to build social connections to fulfill this mission. We are a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) located in Capitol Hill, serving the greater Washington, DC market area while remaining active nationally as well as internationally. Each partner brings more than 28yrs international experience leading full service architecture, interior design and planning projects for government, commercial real estate, and corporate organizations.
Central to our design approach is a commitment that demian\wilbur\architects will work collaboratively to achieve our clients' stated goals. Our licensed designers and LEED accredited professionals draw on a wealth of prior experience and knowledge of the latest developments in workplace design to ensure the successful execution of a project. We also regularly conduct quality assurance and peer reviews aimed at providing our customers with highest standard of service possible.
Focus
We believe and operate in communitarian ethics. We believe in working towards involvement in projects that benefit communities. More so, we believe in being an active rather than a passive practice, partnering with communities to identify, pursue, and develop meaningful projects. Bottom up Planning processes, by their nature, are primarily driven by real people who have genuine needs with clear objectives and a transparent agenda.
We bring this same passion to all our clients, real estate developers, building owners, project management companies, and government agencies
