The Consultation

There are a number of factors that we will discuss with you, in order to begin the journey.

First we will define your design problem and begin brainstorming ideas, so that we can solve and overcome your dilemmas. During this time, we will create sketches, take photographs, and gather any pertinent information, so that during our programming we can best meet or exceed your expectations.

Programming the Design

Once our team has gathered your information, we will begin our process of programming. During this stage of the design process, we will utilize your preliminary ideas, and form solutions. It is during this time that we will request any ideas that you may gather.

These "ideas" may be from magazines, websites, or even from those that know you best; your family and friends.

We than take all of the various concepts and options and develop your unique design solution. It is during this stage that we will create floor plans, elevations, presentations and if requested, 3-D renderings and/or animations. Yes, you can visualize and experience your design!

After we have an approved design track, that both reflects your expectations and meets our design standards, we begin specifying the materials and finishes that will bring your design together.
