Planning Your Dream Home

The journey to your dream home begins with a detailed questionnaire designed to capture your vision, needs, and specific requirements. Based on your responses, we'll craft a tailored architectural proposal that outlines the scope of work. Once we receive your signed agreement and deposit, we'll initiate the design process.

​

Site Analysis and Schematic Design Phase

Our first step is a comprehensive analysis of your property, considering factors such as views, sunlight, access, privacy, and flood elevation requirements. We also conduct a zoning analysis to ascertain the permissible setbacks, lot coverage, building height, and other regulations specific to your location.

Based on these insights, we create preliminary schematic layouts that reflect your desired spatial arrangements and style, infused with our creative expertise. We also generate initial 3D views to visualize the potential of your home. This stage is highly collaborative and flexible, allowing for adjustments based on your feedback before finalizing the design.

​

Design Development Phase

In this phase, we refine the design details. You'll receive detailed floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections, and 3D renderings and animations. We begin structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing design & coordination. This approach not only enhances design accuracy but also allows you to visualize your future home in great detail.

​

Construction Documentation

Once the design is finalized, we prepare comprehensive construction documents required for city permitting. These include finalized layouts, structural plans, detailed drawings of building sections, elevations, construction details, and utility systems.

​

Construction Phase

During construction, our involvement is flexible and tailored to your needs. We can recommend trusted builders, visit the site to ensure the design intent is carried through, and provide quick solutions when unforeseen conditions arise. Acting as your advocate, we help coordinate with consultants and contractors, review details, and confirm that finishes and craftsmanship align with the vision. Our goal is to make the building process smooth and ensure the final home reflects both quality and design excellence.
