Plan the work,
work the Plan.

Like any project, a successful construction project starts with a solid plan. A solid plan is developed through the collaboration and input of owners, designers, architects, engineers and municipal officials. We will help coordinate and guide this process to provide for a more fluid and integrated plan that both captures and communicates the architectural design objectives of your project while allowing you, the owner to be involved from start to finish. Here's some of our approach to planning:

WHERE TO START

Call me. One of the first questions I ask clients to explore when designing their new home or renovation is, "Why are we doing this?”. The question aims to clearly and simply define the purpose behind the project, much like a mission statement would to a business. To some the goal is very obvious, but to some it's not. In any either case, the purpose and goal of the project is the project’s guiding principle. Questions like this guide design by helping us refine design directions.

I want to listen to you. I want to hear about your goals, and the ideas for your project. I want to understand more about you and how involved (or not) you want be with your project and what your design goals and constraints may be. I then begin to assemble a team around you, tailored specifically to fit your unique project and design objectives.
