Great Understanding of Your Needs

We begin the design process by getting to know you and exploring your lifestyle. First and foremost, our job is simply to listen to our clients and translate their vision into an architectural expression that complies with building codes.

Better Design

Tying your lifestyle with in three dimensional spaces is our specialty. We can deliver more interesting and creative spaces that work with the natural elements of the site and surroundings, all while factoring in budgets, schedules, building codes and zoning requirements.

Avoiding Design Errors

Specifically, errors included in plan books or with lack of experience. Planning ahead and having well detailed ideas on paper saves in the long run. It’s like the quote “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Through continued education and experience, our staff is trained to know the most up-to-date best practices and superior design, and we bring this to each client.

Depending on their city’s codes, homeowners may also need to submit plans with an architect’s seal before beginning work. By utilizing a system that creates real plans embodying our client’s vision and professional prospective, we enter into the building process with a clear vision and peace of mind for our clients.

Preparing highly detailed and accurate drawings significantly reduce design errors, conserving your valuable budget dollars. Utilizing three dimensional building information modeling, we can account for a greater deal of realistic factual information very early in the process- further ensuring budget and schedule accuracy. This can be easily coordinated with contractors at any stage of the process as well.

Creative Solutions

We are experienced at creating big spaces with small budgets through finding creative solutions to complex questions. It is common for unexpected and unknown issues to arise during any project. As architects, we minimize and navigate the unknown through careful planning, research and understanding of the space throughout the entire design process. We can find the right strategies and materials to make the project both cost effective and beautiful.

Good Design is a Profitable Investment

Everyone has experienced a space that reflected unrealistic or frustrating design. Designing for function, flexibility, and a timeless design adds extra value to the building. Simply put, well-designed homes have greater satisfaction and resale value over the life of the home.

Help You Choose the Right Materials and Finishes

As a part of our team, our in-house interior designers have an intimate understanding of the project, lending to a smooth transition into choosing important materials and finishes for your home. Their knowledge of a wide range of materials enables them to recommend the congruous materials for your project, based on budget requirements, proportions, and functionality of the space. It’s all about bringing the details together with the big picture.

Good Stewards of Resources

We have one earth to build on. As architects, we can help you be a part of preserving it. Efficient floor plans, proper building orientation and location along with careful detailing and material selection all play a part in ensuring this place will be here for the next generation. It also saves on your monthly utility bills while lowering long term building maintenance costs.

Trust

Designing and building a home is a personal matter. As your architect, we are your agent. We will take care of your interests

throughout the project, working alongside the contractor, engineers, and consultants. This particularly applies when it comes to design decisions and field changes. This facilitation minimizes the technical decision-making on the part of the client, who can focus on big picture decisions while we act as an advocate for your vision.

Negotiation With Your Builder

The architect can handle the tough aspects of contract negotiations on your behalf, while checking for accuracy in implementation of design throughout the construction process, maintaining a clear understanding between all involved.
