Every project is unique, as is every client, yet the architectural process of designing and building usually follows a consistent series of phases or steps that must be well balanced for the project to be successful. 

The pivotal stage in the process lies in the schematic phase, our approach starts with a comprehensive exploration of the landscape, and client’s requirements and preferences are well understood, leading to a final project that will incorporate not only architectural beauty, but also those elements of function specific to the client. This phase signifies alignment on the project’s direction, paving the way for detailed design work to achieve the desired outcome. The duration of the schematic phase varies, ranging from several weeks for minor additions to months for new residential projects and their surrounding areas. 

Unlike many architecturally designed homes that lack true customization and simply mirror the designer’s style, we strive to create residences that not only reflect the client’s aesthetic vision but also anticipate their lifestyle demands. Our commitment to craft is evident in every aspect of our designs, we pay attention to the small things to foster a refined, cohesive, living experience. The eventual construction represents a substantial investment for the client, necessitating careful consideration, particularly during the schematic phase, to ensure a sound investment.

In the subsequent stage, which involves intricate design work, the responsibility falls squarely on us. Throughout this phase, we maintain ongoing communication with the client as we explore various options and make decisions. Our aim during this phase is to make final decisions that will minimize changes once construction starts, thus reducing costs and avoiding delays. As this stage draws to a close, we either send out the architectural plan for bidding to specific general contractors or engage the preferred contractor if one has already been chosen, while also pursuing building permits.

Once the construction plans are ready and permits are sorted, construction kicks off. This stage is exciting and crucial, relying heavily on skilled workers and contractors. Not only do tasks need to be done well, but managing the workflow efficiently is vital. We collaborate closely with the general contractor to solve any questions promptly and ensure work progresses smoothly. Plus, we stay in touch with the client to handle any concerns. Our role is to be the link between design and construction, offering both creative vision and practical management.

Ultimately, our goal is to ensure our client’s satisfaction and cultivate a long-term relationship through our service experience.
