The tasks involved in the preparation of an architectural design are illustrated here in the chronological order of six phases.  Over the last ten years we have been building a reputation on our ability to communicate with clients.  Through the art and technology off architecture we work to create an environment which is beautiful and functional.

Programming

The first phase of design involves information about a client’s needs, desires, lifestyle and goals.  This phase includes identification of site opportunities and constraints.  We encourage clients to prepare a written program which contributes to a well defined starting point.

Preliminary Design

Construction drawings set forth in detail the requirements for pricing and building.  Our computer generated drawings add accuracy and save time in production.

Design Development

After the owner responds to the preliminary design we make the appropriate revisions and modifications.  Then we proceed to a larger scale where more detailed studies can be considered.  We endeavor to make all major design decisions before documentation takes place in the construction drawings. 

Specialty Items

We are always looking for ways to expand the realm of our architectural work. An example is the stained glass door shown below.  We also provide “in-house” interior design services.  Related areas of “specialty” design include custom lighting, “built-in” elements with exotic finishes, kitchen design and swimming pool layouts.
