Design Process
Our workflow follows a clear, collaborative process that balances design exploration, technical coordination, and personal attention. While every project is unique, these phases outline how we typically move from initial ideas to a completed building. Services are tailored to each client and refined based on project scope, goals, and contracted services.
-
Vision, intent, and possibilities
This first phase establishes the architectural vision and overall direction of your project.
We focus on:
Understanding your lifestyle, goals, and priorities
Evaluating site conditions, zoning, and constraints
Exploring massing, layout, and spatial relationships
Developing preliminary plans and design studies
Outcome:
A clear design concept that aligns vision, scale, and intent—creating a strong foundation for the rest of the project.
-
Refinement and integration
With a concept agreed upon, we carefully refine it into a cohesive and buildable design.
We focus on:
Advancing floor plans, elevations, and sections
Coordinating structure, building systems, and materials
Refining key architectural details and finishes
Reviewing constructability and budget implications
Outcome:
A fully developed architectural design with defined materials, systems, and clear spatial organization.
-
Documentation and permitting
Here, the design is translated into the detailed technical documents needed for permitting and construction.
We focus on:
Producing comprehensive construction drawings
Preparing specifications and technical notes
Coordinating with consultants and specialty trades
Addressing code requirements and permit review comments
Outcome:
A complete, permit‑ready set of documents that clearly communicates design intent and technical requirements for pricing and construction.
-
Stewardship through construction
We stay engaged during construction to help ensure the project is built as designed.
We focus on:
Reviewing shop drawings and submittals
Responding to contractor questions (RFIs)
Visiting the site at key milestones
Assisting with coordination and project closeout
Outcome:
A completed project that reflects the original design intent and meets high standards of craft, performance, and client satisfaction.
Our Technology
We use carefully selected, industry-leading design and visualization tools to craft refined architectural solutions, allowing technology to support a thoughtful, bespoke approach to high-end residential and select commercial projects.
-
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence is an emerging tool that supports the architectural design process through rapid exploration, analysis, and visualization. Used as a complement to traditional workflows rather than a final design solution, AI enables architects to test ideas efficiently and expand creative possibilities while maintaining design control and intent. -
Revit
Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software used to design and document projects in a coordinated 3D environment. It allows drawings and details to be generated from a single digital model, improving accuracy, coordination, and efficiency throughout the design and construction process.
-
TwinMotion
Twinmotion is a real-time visualization software used to create high-quality renderings and animations directly from 3D models. It allows designs to be quickly visualized with realistic lighting, materials, and environments, helping clients better understand a project before it is built.
-
Adobe
Adobe Creative Suite is a collection of design and editing tools used to produce clear, professional visual communication. It supports the creation of diagrams, presentations, graphics, and documentation that enhance storytelling and clearly convey design intent.
-
Matterport
Matterport is a 3D scanning and visualization platform used to capture existing spaces as accurate digital models. It allows for virtual walkthroughs, precise measurements, and better documentation of existing conditions, supporting informed design and planning decisions.
-
BlueBeam
Bluebeam is a digital markup and collaboration software used to review, annotate, and coordinate construction documents. It streamlines communication between project teams, improving accuracy, efficiency, and clarity throughout the design and construction process.
-
PlanGrid
PlanGrid is a cloud-based construction management platform used to share, track, and manage drawings and project information in real time. It helps project teams stay aligned by providing access to the most up-to-date documents throughout construction.
-
AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a drafting software used to create precise 2D drawings and technical documentation. It supports accurate detailing and clear communication of design intent across all phases of a project.
-
InDesign
InDesign is a layout and publishing software used to create professional presentations, reports, and project documentation. It supports clear organization of text and graphics to effectively communicate design ideas.
