​

The design process can be broken down into four phases: Preliminary Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document phases.

​

The Preliminary Design phase consists of a review of the owner's Program Outline, budget , and floorplan, if available, and/or assisting the owner in developing these criteria; researching applicable local city zoning and building code requirements for the project; and developing concept floor plans from the previous criteria to establish spacial relationships and approximate square footages for the project.

​

The Schematic Design phase consists of producing presentation drawings of refined concept floor plans, including approximate square footages; producing rendered elevation sketches to describe the material's stylistic character, and overall massing of the of the proposed residence; assisting the owner in selecting a contractor, if needed; and assisting the owner in selecting any required or requested consultant, i.e. strucural, lighting, landscape, etc.

​

The Design Development phase consists of translating the approved Schematic Design floor plan with any owner-requested modifications into a computer-generated format and reproduce at 1/4" = 1'- 0" scale, with precise square footage information for owner's review; and producing a roof plan and designing the rear and associated side elevations based upon the schematic front elevation, which will be coordinated to create a logical, holistic crafted structure.

​

The Construction Document phase consists of finalizing building and zoning codification, and review with authorities having jurisdicton; producing a Construction Document package for pricing and construction of the project; and participating in owner, contractor, and inter-professional conferences as required for the timely and effective completion of the project.
