Discovery & Client Needs

Good design starts with people. Before we draw anything, we meet with you to understand how you want the space to function day-to-day, what you’re trying to achieve, and what matters most, comfort, flow, privacy, storage, budget, and long-term value. We ask the right questions, listen closely, and take the time to understand your vision, your lifestyle, and the realities of your existing home and site. If the space doesn’t work for the end user, it isn’t successful.

Site, Code & Project Roadmap

Next, we study the existing conditions and the rules that guide the project—site constraints, existing structure, zoning, building codes, and local regulations. We verify what’s possible early, so you don’t waste time or money redesigning later. Then we combine that research with your goals to shape a clear path forward: a plan that fits your property, aligns with your budget and timeline, and is built around code compliance from the start. The result is a design foundation that’s realistic, buildable, and ready to move into the next phase with confidence.

Design + Construction-Ready Plans

We develop the design through a step-by-step, iterative process—testing options and refining the solution until it fits your needs. When the direction is approved, we coordinate with the right consultants as needed and produce permit-ready, construction-ready drawings with details aligned before construction begins.

Permit-to-Construction Support

From the first concept to the final build, we stay involved and guide you throughout the process. We help keep things organized, answer questions, and support you through permitting and construction so your project moves forward with confidence.
