• EARLY DESIGN PHASE

    Focus on Living Experiences: Prioritize the experience of how spaces connect and flow, ensuring the design enhances daily living and fosters meaningful interactions.

    Explore Opportunities: Identify unique possibilities and stretch opportunities based on site conditions and program requirements, tailoring the design to maximize potential.

    Present Thoughtful Options: Develop multiple design concepts to provide clients with choices, empowering them to select a direction that reflects their aspirations, needs, and lifestyle.

    Develop the Narrative: Craft a compelling story that embodies the client’s vision, values, and family identity, creating a home that is uniquely theirs.

    Leverage Site Elements: Integrate sustainable principles by optimizing sun, wind, and site-specific features to enhance the home’s performance.

  • DEEP DESIGN PHASE

    Refine and Adjust Spaces: Transition from a macro to micro perspective, analyzing each space—floor, walls, ceiling, and millwork—to ensure every element is cohesive and intentional. Make necessary refinements to the approved design, ensuring the client fully understands and approves every detail.

    Integrate Systems: Collaborate with engineers and designers to align interior spaces with exterior systems, ensuring seamless functionality and aesthetic harmony.

    Plan for Performance: Strategize for high-performance home systems, focusing on optimal thermal performance, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

    Interim Drawings & Cost Assessment: Develop refined interim drawings to share with potential builder partners for early cost evaluations. This allows for value engineering (VE) and adjustments before finalizing the design.

Our process ensures a thoughtful, collaborative, and detail-oriented approach to creating a custom home that balances aesthetic aspirations, functional needs, and sustainable performance.
