Our
Process
| Our
simple five-step design
process engages builder
and client in all phases,
allowing the transformation
of vision into reality.
|
| |
1.
The interview
 The
first phase of the overall
design process is the interview.
We encourage the client
to share their vision with
us. Size of rooms, how the
rooms relate to one another,
special furniture or art
work to be accommodated,
the future residents' lifestyle
and entertainment habits,
and evaluation of the client's
property are items to consider. |
| |
2.
The preliminary sketch
 This
step involves preparing
preliminary drawings drawn
to scale. We are usually
able to come up with an
initial design that represents
more than 80 percent of
what the client envisions.
We fine-tune these preliminary
drawings by addressing certain
variables, such as the finishing
materials, special needs
for cabinetry, and lighting
throughout the house. |

3.
Working drawings
 In
this step, production drawings
are created which include
exterior elevations, electrical
plans, interior details,
cross-sections through the
house, foundation outline,
roof plan, and detailed
floor plans. |
| |
|
4.
Review and feedback
 Plans
are reviewed, any changes/corrections
are made and final architectural
plans are drawn up.
|
| |
5.
Structural engineering
 This
critical phase guarantees
that the client's investment
will be a sound one. The
final plans are used by
a Licensed Structural Engineer
to develop a proper foundation
and structural design. (While
this is not a part of our
service, we would be glad
to recommend to you certified
structural engineers.) |
