Architectural Process
At project inception, exploring the existing site characteristics creates the foundation for exceptional design. The neighborhood, trees, wind paths, and sun patterns drive the development for initial massing diagrams. We work closely with you on a program questionnaire to understand your lifestyle to lay the ground work for adjacencies, sizes of rooms and overall square footage. We provide concept design imagery to help you understand the overall aesthetics of the home and create 3d massing models with sun studies. The building envelope and structural systems also start to develop in these initial stages.
In design development we begin to produce the overall site plan, floor plans and roof plan along with exterior elevations. We start to develop interior and exterior finishes. We also begin to design cabinetry, furniture and lighting layouts. It is at this time that we typically engage with a general contractor to start initial pricing of the plans.
Finally, we move into construction documentation. We combine all of the above information and compose final detailed drawings and specifications to be used in permitting and for final construction.
