ONE Global Design Platform has now reached Number 7 in the overall rankings for Design Firms, based on data provided by Interior Design Magazine, Top 100 Giants, January, 2013. Total documented design fees last year eclipsed over $65 million, and cumulative project size leveled off at approximately 25 million square feet installed.
The company was founded 3 years ago by Ron Carlson, who created Partners by DESIGN in Chicago, in association with co-founder Norm Liedtke of Meyer Design located in Ardmore, PA.

ONE Global is comprised of architectural and design firms spanning across the entire United States, Canada and Mexico. The organization is presently in discussions with additional firms which are located in the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia and Central America. Projections based on the present trajectory indicate that the group will surpass HOK and Perkins/Will to take the number 3 slot by 2014.
The group is unique because the partnership is comprised of the top ranked stand-alone independent firms in each major city. All of the individual firms have already achieved top recognition in their respective markets. They possess best-of-class brands, with longstanding solid reputations and relationships. So the combination is proving to be a much more powerful, compelling and thus attractive model for clients than the traditional competing companies who employ the traditional "satellite office” concept.

The most powerful common thread is how they all share a similar culture theme and vision. The ONE Global lead partner located in each sector not only shares trust and preserves loyalty, but they are all close friends.
