Services We Provide
A home is the place in which external and internal landscapes meet. Outside may be a
rustling aspen grove or a thriving street scene. Inside, a well-designed home offers a
range of spaces that both buffer and enliven those within.
Distinctive design morphs the landscapes of your site and self into an expression of--and
for--your life. Expansive and protective. Boldly spirited and comfortably familiar. A
gathering place and a retreat.
Every client, site, initial design concept, and budget presents a unique collection of
possible solutions. Through exploring your sensibilities, we can transform your ideas into
a home rich in spatial and textural relationships and contrasts.
Phase I - The Lay of the Land
In the preliminary phase of our design process, we work with you to gather all the
information and impressions necessary for designing the home best for you. Getting the
lay of the land begins with initial meetings in which we come to understand your
language--your aesthetic, your habits and particular habitation needs. We also discuss
your budget and timeline, so we can have these parameters in mind while brainstorming.
Equally important, we attend to the site, visiting it, reviewing zoning laws and--when
needed--ordering surveys.
Phase II - Design Development
Now we talk through, sketch out, mold and draft the actual design of your structure. This
begins with identifying the backbone of your design program, the ever-refined
description of what you do and don't want. We take into consideration orientation to
daylight, vistas, and views. Totally complete working drawings, code compliant and
ready to go to permitting will be provided to you and your builder.
Phase III - Construction Oversight
For us, the process of design doesn't end until the last bit of finish has been applied, the
last fixture installed. We have close working relationships with the region's best
contractors, fabricators, trades and craftspeople. So, though you could ditch us with
blueprints in hand, most clients take advantage of our inspection services during
construction.
Renderings
A picture is a thousand words. A full color rendering of your home is an added service we
can provide.
Most of our clients come to us with a vision of their future home. We work with these
individuals through a design process that draws their dreams out on to the table. This is
the palette we work with to design the home as a team. The design refinement continues
as we work together through the Design Phase towards the Final Design. Once we have
the final design we move into the Construction Drawings Phase in which we develop the
engineering, details, and layouts necessary for the contractors to build the home.
