Design & Development

The Custom District provides a full spectrum of design options, from direct translation of a completed concept to manufacture, to intensive design development from only a cursory napkin sketch concept.

With years of design and engineering experience in architecture, interior and industrial design, product development and even custom motorcycles and specialized machinery, The Custom District can adapt virtually any concept to specific markets, audiences or physical spaces.

Design Approach

Working closely with individual client’s internal design teams The Custom District adapts client’s concepts and functional mission to pieces that are beautiful, durable, shippable and simple to install, all the while “value engineering” for maximum cost savings. 

As both designers and manufacturers The Custom District employs an integrated approach to design and engineering.  By including specific methods of manufacturing early in the initial design process The Custom District ensures design solutions – whether individual custom pieces or a thousand accessories or furniture units – will be manufactured in-house rapidly and to the highest standards.

The “Custom-Hybrid Modular” Solution

Many of The Custom District’s clients are forward brands on the leading edge of modern style and market innovation.  One regular challenge for brands with strong design concepts that are expanding rapidly is how to craft unique personalities for individual locations while maintaining a practical degree of standardization to enable systematic expansion.  To meet this challenge The Custom District deploys a Custom-Hybrid Modular (CHM) design solution.

CHM takes design concepts and breaks them down into modular physical units that can be minimally altered in manufacture to achieve:

  • maximum flexibility for various site conditions

  • the appearance of uniqueness site-to-site

  • maintaining a strong recognizable brand identity

  • maximizing repeated elements in manufacture to increase build efficiency and reduce cost
