Process
Listen + Learn
Every project begins with understanding the client, the site, and the people who will help build it. We look closely at how you want to live, the opportunities and constraints of the property, zoning requirements, views, orientation, budget, and, when possible, input from the builder. A strong project starts with everyone working from the same understanding.
Explore + Refine
Design is an iterative process. We use sketches, 3D models, renderings, and occasionally physical models to test ideas and help clients clearly understand the spaces we are creating. Throughout the process, we consider materials, finishes, passive sustainable strategies, views, and construction methods so the design is both thoughtful and buildable.
Build + Collaborate
Our involvement continues into construction, where communication becomes especially important. We prefer regular site meetings with the client and contractor to answer questions, work through unforeseen conditions, and help maintain the intent of the design. The best results come from a collaborative team working toward the same goal.
