Architectural Services

Standard Services 1. Site Analysis –

Site analysis is the process where we identify the opportunities presented by your site.

2. Programming –

A custom program will be developed through a series of conversations where we learn about you and how you want to live.

Once we have established your needs and desires, we will create a room-by-room outline of room sizes that will help us determine the size of house you want. From this outline or program, we can then establish a preliminary budget as a first step in prioritizing your budget.

3. Schematic Design –

The Schematic Design Phase is comprised of free-hand sketches of the site plan, floor plans and elevations. These sketches demonstrate the general concept and character of the design; how the design fulfills your needs and desires while realizing the opportunities offered by your site.

During this phase, you will see your home take shape; we will translate the schematic sketches into 3-dimensional computer-generated drawings, which will also be utilized later for our construction documents.
