To most homeowners, the residential design process is unfamiliar, even opaque. In practice, our residential design process is simple, direct, and structured to produce amazing results.

​PreDesign

Picture
Before we explore what your project might look like, we first document what your home currently looks like. Add an in-depth conversation on project scope and budget and you have the three pillars of the PreDesign phase - documentation, analysis, and planning.

Schematic Design

Ink Pens
In Schematic Design, design options are generated, ideas and possibilities are explored, and the notion of what-might-be is pursued. Initial layouts are reviewed together, modified, and developed twice until a singular design direction is established.

Design Development

Stacked Ceramic Tile
Design Development is an intense phase, with lots of decisions to make. Layouts are pushed and refined and interior materials and fixtures are selected and cataloged, We even undergo a preliminary pricing exercise with a local builder to make sure the design direction is aligned with the budget.

Construction Documents

Architectural Scale
In the Construction Document phase, the design continues to evolve, although in a more subtle and nuanced manner. Unique project features and critical details are finalized, and drawings are compiled into a CD Set used for permitting, builder selection, cost estimating, and construction.
