Process
It all begins with a need. Perhaps you’re part of a growing family and need a special space to gather together, or you’re looking for a private suite to escape. Maybe you love the function of your house, but it needs a facelift . . . or you’re looking to create a brand new home that will serve your family for generations to come.
Initial Steps
We’ll begin with an initial meeting to brainstorm and discuss possibilities. A meeting at your home will help me become familiar with your style, the way you live and function in your house, and give us the opportunity to find the best path forward together.
If needed, I will create a set of measured drawings to show the existing conditions of your home. Any good design must be based on an accurate set of drawings.
Design Phase
The initial design scheme consists of simple floor plans and elevations to show both interior and exterior spaces, and perspective drawings and colored renderings are also available if needed. The initial design serves as a starting point and can be changed and tweaked until it fits your desires and budget.
Construction Drawings
Once the design is fine-tuned, I work in coordination with builders, structural engineers, and other designers to produce a highly detailed set of construction documents that will serve as guide throughout construction.
Construction Administration
During construction, I periodically visit the job site to ensure the design we created together truly becomes the home you desire.
