Our Process

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

When a client engages us to design a new home, addition or other structure, we follow a disciplined process that focuses on iteration and communication. The three phases of the design process are schematic design, design development, and construction documents.

 

During the schematic design phase, we visit the home or building site with the client and discuss the existing conditions. The result of this meeting will be the creation of a massing-model of the house, along with floor plans and a site plan.

Once all the plans have been reviewed and approved by our clients, we move onto the design development phase. During design development, our team of architects will walk you through inch decisions to ensure the design meets the client's needs.

Once the iterations of design development are completed, the final phase of the design process begins, construction documents. The construction document phase produces the drawings and details necessary to build the structure.

Our Process

INTERIOR DETAILING

Our focus is to ensure clients have an understanding of spatial awareness in their new spaces thru the use of material sample boards, renderings and digital modeling. 

Interior design and detailing services are utilized when creating kitchen and bathroom designs, built-in casework, or any mill working necessities. Clients will be guided through product selection such as cabinetry and hardware, lighting, tile, flooring and any other aspect of their living space. Working with our interior design group, clients will be guided throughout the initial phases of the detailing process, concept development, up until the final design review and ordering phase. Our designers will perform site visits during the installation phase to ensure an efficiency in installation and to allow project timeline to stay on track.
