Process

What can you expect? Every project is different, but all follow a similar process. Here’s the roadmap for your design journey.

01 / Pre-Design + Discovery

Every project begins with curiosity. We want to understand what matters most to you — your goals, your values, your site, and the way you live or work. These conversations help us shape a vision grounded in purpose, not in trends.

What this includes:

  • Initial meetings

  • Site visits

  • Establishing project goals, schedule, and budget

  • Defining scope and services

  • Laying the groundwork for a successful partnership

02 / Conceptual + Schematic Design

With a clear understanding of your needs and ambitions, we move into exploration — sketching ideas, studying site opportunities, and testing possibilities. This is where pens hit trace, and ideas begin to take shape.

What this includes:

  • Concept sketches and diagrams

  • Preliminary site studies

  • Early design ideas for form, function, and flow

  • Design narratives and visualization

03 / Design Development

Once a concept feels right, we refine and expand it. We think through materials, details, systems, and how the spaces will truly feel. Architecture and interiors evolve together, ensuring cohesion from the inside out.

What this includes:

  • Refined plans, elevations, and 3D studies

  • Interior architecture and material palettes

  • Integration of systems with consultants and specialists

  • Budget alignment and refinement

04 / Documentation + Permitting

Great ideas require great execution. We prepare detailed drawings and specifications to guide construction and obtain necessary permits. We coordinate with engineers, jurisdictions, and all team members to move your project forward smoothly.

What this includes:

  • Construction documents

  • Specifications

  • Permitting support and coordination

  • Bidding and contractor selection assistance

05 / Construction Administration

We remain hands-on through construction, working alongside your builder to ensure the design intent is carried through. Questions arise; details evolve — we stay engaged so you don’t have to worry.

What this includes:

  • Site visits and ongoing communication

  • Review of submittals and shop drawings

  • Addressing questions and clarifying details

  • Final punch lists and closeout

06 / Beyond Completion

Our relationship doesn’t end when the dust settles. We’re here for you long-term — whether it’s fine-tuning furniture selections, helping with future phases, or simply staying connected.
