Design Ethos

We design spaces people love. For us, that means environments that are intuitive, inspiring, and meaningful. Every project begins with a deep respect for its context and a focus on shaping places that feel both grounded and elevated. Our work is driven by curiosity, clear communication, and a desire to create something lasting. We prioritize clarity over trends and aim to deliver architecture that resonates with the people who experience it and the communities it supports.

It all starts with an idea.

We extend a complimentary consultation to new clients, providing an opportunity to discuss your architectural and construction needs. We welcome sharing your innovative insights and vision boards, as we specialize in offering a diverse range of services tailored to enhance your overall experience in the realm of architecture and construction.

Straight to business.

Through a structured and iterative process involving regular meetings and thorough analysis, our team will synthesize and harmonize resolutions that strike a balance between your design ideals and practical considerations. We’ll engage in in-depth discussions to refine and finalize the designs, transforming them into comprehensive documentation, primed for seamless execution during the construction phase.

Your vision, realized.

Following the finalization of the design, we will initiate the process of soliciting bids from contractors to commence the project. As a cohesive team, we’ll closely collaborate with our clients, assuming a proactive role in monitoring and overseeing all aspects of the project to ensure strict adherence to the approved designs. This comprehensive monitoring process will serve to effectively regulate the implementation and execution, guaranteeing that every element falls seamlessly into place.

In the below guide, we lay out the essential steps and milestones necessary to bring your architectural vision to life. From initial conceptualization to the final construction phase, this roadmap will serve as your strategic blueprint, ensuring a smooth and successful journey throughout your project. Every project is unique, so the example stage durations will vary from project to project.

Using preliminary planning documents and existing conditions drawings supplied by you, we will validate the program and produce layouts focused on code compliance and functionality and formalize that information into a working set of drawings suitable for preliminary construction pricing and zoning review. We will engage experts and stakeholders early on, including security, engineering, town officials, vendors, and utility providers, incorporating their input along the way.

We will prepare drawings suitable for a building permit application and will be compliant with current building codes; including fire resistance ratings, means of egress, travel distance, accessibility, and other matters of compliance. We will identify information and concerns necessary for effective coordination and designed to limit the number of questions during construction. We will coordinate with consultants as required and work with your contractor to prioritize long-lead construction items.

Following the finalization of the design, we will initiate the process of soliciting bids from contractors to commence the project. As a cohesive team, we’ll closely collaborate with our clients, assuming a proactive role in monitoring and overseeing all aspects of the project to ensure strict adherence to the approved designs. This comprehensive monitoring process will serve to effectively regulate the implementation and execution, guaranteeing that every element falls seamlessly into place.

We will conduct on-site observation to ascertain whether construction is proceeding in line with design intent and in compliance with the design. It is critical to secure a Construction Manager early due to procurement and other market- related delays.
