OUR DESIGN PROCESS

We make complexity feel simple. From the first conversation to move-in, we keep the path clear and the pace steady—so decisions stay aligned with your goals. Clients value our collaborative approach, transparent communication, and disciplined follow-through at every step.

PHASE ONE—DISCOVERY & VISION

The first step is about listening and learning. Together, we define your goals, explore your site, and discuss your lifestyle needs to establish a clear framework for design. This ensures every decision that follows is rooted in your vision.

What happens during Discovery:

Comprehensive site analysis and feasibility/zoning review
In-depth conversation about routines, preferences, and priorities
Budget and timeline alignment
Review of architectural styles and inspirations
Early direction setting for design

PHASE TWO—CONCEPT & DEVELOPMENT

Ideas take shape here. We test layouts, explore architectural character, and develop sketches and studies that turn your goals into tangible options. Through collaboration and refinement, a clear design direction emerges.

What happens during Concept:

Concept sketches and space-planning studies
Exploration of multiple design approaches
Basic elevations and initial aesthetic direction
Preliminary 3D studies and material concepts
Collaborative review sessions to refine ideas

PHASE THREE—DESIGN & DOCUMENTATION

Once a direction is set, we translate it into coordinated drawings and details that guide pricing, permitting, and construction. Every element—plans, elevations, finishes, fixtures—is refined with precision.

What happens during Design & Documentation:

Detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections
3D renderings and visualizations for clarity
Material and finish selections
Coordination with structural/MEP consultants
Building code compliance review and permit-ready set

PHASE FOUR—CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

Design doesn’t stop with drawings. We stay engaged during construction to ensure the design intent is realized. From site visits to finish coordination, we provide steady guidance so the built result matches the vision.

What happens during Construction Support:

Ongoing site visits to review progress
Timely responses to contractor questions (RFIs/submittals)
Finish and fixture verification and adjustments as needed
Punch-list walkthroughs and closeout assistance

COLLABORATION AT EVERY STEP

Collaboration isn’t a phase—it’s the foundation of our process. We keep communication open, decisions clear, and tools visual so you’re informed and confident throughout.

Regular communication: milestone check-ins, updates, and reviews
Visual clarity: sketches, 3D renderings, and samples to preview design decisions
Design iterations: refinements based on your feedback to ensure alignment
Transparent decision-making: clear explanations of options, costs, and trade-offs
