01 Initial Consult
Each project is as unique as our clients lifestyles. During the Initial Design Consultation we will have you guide us through your space, discuss how you currently use your space, define what your needs are, how you want to live/work in a space, and how you want to feel as you do so. We will offer solutions to help improve your project, and even challenge you to think a bit differently. We will make recommendations to move forward throughout your project based on your objectives, and establish what services we can offer.

02 Conceptual Design
The Design Concept is the soul of a project, a physical representation of the energy you want to feel in your space. Comprised of imagery, textures, materials, in the form of a Concept Board, the Design Concept acts as a compass for your design project, guiding all project decisions to reflect your personal lifestyle. We believe design should be timeless, a way of life that reflects your personal lifestyle, grows with you, and transcends trends. We will work with you to create a concept for your space that is harmonious with how you want to live your life.

03 Programming
Often in life, we desire order, but struggle to see the way to that point ourselves. Creating order comes from focused, deliberate effort. Programming is the process of organizing functional relationships between various activities, spaces, and site programs gathered in your initial consult. We organize and rework the various pieces of the puzzle into a complete picture called a Programming Diagram. The Programming diagram will optimize the function of your space in accordance with your site and serve as the groundwork for all future phases of design and planning of your space.

04 Preliminary Space Planning
A Preliminary Space Plan for a New Build organizes desired functional relationships between various activities and spaces. By using circulation patterns we determine the most functional layout for activities/spaces, with the ultimate goal of creating an environment that supports the wellbeing and productivity.
Space Planning for Renovation illustrates potential solutions to better utilize or reconfigure an existing space. Before making significant decisions around adding to your space, we analyze current features of your space (access/egress, circulation, access to views/natural light etc), and optimize function and efficiency, based on what’s already there.
