Services
Programming
Our programming phase begins with site evaluation and client consultations to define project requirements, budget parameters, and functional goals. We develop initial sketches exploring spatial relationships while considering environmental factors and zoning regulations. This foundational stage ensures alignment between client vision and practical implementation.
Schematic Design
During schematic design, we refine initial concepts through 3D modeling to study building massing, sun control strategies, and spatial flow. This phase establishes the project's architectural character while maintaining strict adherence to budget constraints and regulatory requirements.
Construction Documents
We produce detailed construction documents combining hand sketches and CAD technology, working closely with engineers to ensure structural integrity. These documents include specifications for materials, finishes, and systems coordination for permitting and construction phases.
Interior Design
Our interior design services encompass finish selections, lighting design, casework details, and furniture specifications. We create comprehensive finish binders and integrate interior requirements into overall construction documentation for cohesive project execution.
Contract Administration
We provide ongoing contract administration through shop drawing reviews, contractor coordination, and regular site visits. This ensures compliance with design intent while addressing field conditions and maintaining quality control throughout construction.
