our approach
Each project is different, but they are all rooted in vision and shaped by its place. We follow the traditional architectural process, with a key emphasis on the following steps:
1. Listen & Discover
We begin each project by understanding your unique needs, lifestyle, and vision. This early dialogue sets the foundation for a home that truly reflects you— in function, atmosphere, and character.
2. Evaluate Site & Surroundings
Every site has a story. We conduct a careful analysis of your property—considering the land’s contours, natural light, views, climate, and the beauty of its surroundings. These insights shape a design that feels grounded and intentional.
3. Design the Experience
With your goals and the site’s potential in mind, we develop schematic designs that explore form, flow, and spatial relationships. This is where your vision starts to take shape—enhanced by thoughtful integration with the environment.
4. Refine the Details
We dive deeper into the design, selecting materials, systems, and finishes that align with your values and the site. Sustainability, comfort, and craftsmanship come together to create a cohesive, buildable design.
5. Document & Prepare
We produce detailed construction documents that clearly communicate the design to contractors and permitting authorities. These documents ensure your project is ready for a smooth transition into construction.
6. Build & Support
During construction, we remain hands-on—answering questions, reviewing progress, and ensuring the integrity of the design is maintained. We’re there as your advocate, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
