Our vast experience adds a global vision to the project, incorporating not only the architectural components but also the functions of spaces so all aspects of your lifestyle, present and future are thoughtfully considered.
Your professionalism was beyond our expectations and your punctuality refreshing. Your attention to detail and open communication with us, during our total home renovation, was so appreciated. Our house is now our home.

For either new construction or remodeling projects, we’ll collect all necessary information and carefully analyze the data to identify any potential issues. With this information, we will then suggest effective solutions for the design phase. After taking site measurements we can assess whether any additional engineering services might be needed prior to the design phase.
Our preliminary design concepts include options where possible. We will select appropriate materials and finishes, and prepare a visual concept board to support our design intent. We’ll walk you through the technical aspects and provide 3D views to help you visualize the final outcome. We’re excited to show your beautiful new space come to life!
This phase is about organizing the data collected and finalizing plans, schematic details, architectural materials and specifications that create the Project Documents. These documents provide the necessary information for those working on your project to execute our vision. It is a ‘living’ document that may undergo changes as the build progresses. We have found that effective communication is key to successfully implementing change orders and keeping the project on track.
Congratulations, your project is underway! This phase concentrates on material procurements and associated administrative tasks as well as project oversight. Even with adequate preparation, unexpected site conditions may emerge, necessitating swift decision-making and immediate action, crucial to keeping a project on track. We maintain open communication lines with the trades, answering any queries to guarantee project success.
With all of the home’s architectural components decided, it’s now time to concentrate on interior furnishings and soft details that will further showcase your personal style. We’ll focus on furniture layouts, select all of the appropriate pieces, and coordinate fabrics, window coverings, accents and accessories. We’ll create a cohesive look for each room and balance beauty, function and comfort. You will be able to review and approve all materials and finish samples; the only hard part now is waiting for everything to arrive. We’ll take care of all the details from selections to installation. Your patience will be rewarded when you walk into your beautiful home and see how perfectly it reflects you and your family!

Once your project documents are completed we’ll schedule a meeting to introduce everyone and review plans. This is a great opportunity for anyone to ask questions and get clarifications on the project, plans and timelines. We’ll share how our projects unfold every step of the way.
Certainly! A great relationship with a firm goes a long way to creating a successful project and easing stress levels for everyone.

This will help your contractor become familiar with the project before shovels hit the ground, and give everyone an opportunity to ask questions and get clarifications.
