ENTELECHY's owner, Deana Swetlik, approaches each project with creativity and vision delicately balanced with the pragmatic and realistic. The following three touchstones, including their nexus—that is the stakeholders involved in a process—are all integral to every development.
1. Environment
Each and every site has intrinsic characteristics that must be considered, whether its setting in context, its natural assets or existing real property. ENTELECHY discovers and capitalizes on this inner nature of the locale.
2. Economic
A project's uses and its economic viability are intrinsically tied. ENTELECHY is cognizant of macro-economic trends as well as regional and sub-market data that will influence a project. This information will help guide the ultimate development program that results in an implementable project. Equally as impactful to economic viability is the physical design of the place. ENTELECHY brings design to the forefront. Strong up-front design provides value added back-end return, and also helps reduce costly mis-steps in the early stages of development planning.
3. Social
Each project is bigger than its site. How does the project affect an individual life? How does it add to the complexity and interest of its surrounding environment? How does it engender civic responsibility? How are diverse household needs met? ENTELECHY considers these social aspects knowing that such considerations will provide the platform for a new inner nature of interpersonal connections and of experiencing the place once built.
The nexus: stakeholders: communication . collaboration
The nexus of the above three components is the stakeholders involved with a project. ENTELECHY thinks both horizontally and vertically in terms of the stakeholders involved with a project. Horizontally, this involves neighbors, civic leaders and government agencies. Vertically, this involves the development partners and consultant teams.
ENTELECHY understands the different communication techniques necessary for each stakeholder involved with a project and is comfortable representing the project in both public and board room meetings. This understanding of the players and the best approach to communicating with each is critical to successful approvals and implementation of a project.
