It all begins with communication. From the initial meeting, we work with clients to develop a thorough understanding of their needs, wants, constraints, and dreams. We gather inspiring imagery and write a narrative to describe what a successful project will feel like. From there, the design process begins. This is typically an iterative process, where we’ll engage in several rounds of back-and-forth design review as we hone in on a floorplan and style that brings rough ideas into a tangible solution. This often feels like a process of discovery, as we aim to solve a big, complicated problem in an elegant and beautiful and affordable way. This is (almost) always a fun and rewarding process!

After the general design of the building is solidified, we begin to hone in on the details. This involves both the artistic/creative side of interior details and finishes, as well as the technical aspects of how everything will actually come together during construction. There are a lot of decisions to be made during this process, and we’ll help map out a path towards navigating the experience efficiently and enjoyably. Immersive real-time photorealistic rendering helps everyone to understand how the building will feel. We’ll often engage with the builder or construction consultants during this phase to review details, budgets, and overall strategy. At the end of this phase, we’ll have a well-documented set of drawings that are ready for permitting and construction.

We navigate the path of obtaining a building permit, bringing more than a decade of experience to the process and working with a trusted team of consultants as required. Upon securing a permit, the project is ready to come to life. We work with a wide network of trusted builders in the region, and greatly value these relationships. We’ll visit the construction site throughout the project as necessary, in order to help ensure that the vision is cohesive and consistent, as well as to help refine on-site details and resolutions. And at the end of this experience, we’ll raise a glass with you in celebration of a vision brought into reality. Cheers!
