Our Process

  • Pre-Design

    Laying the Foundation for Exceptional Design


    Before a single sketch is drawn, we immerse ourselves in understanding your vision, lifestyle, and the unique character of your property. For historic homes, we research architectural heritage, original construction techniques, and preservation requirements. For contemporary residences, we evaluate site conditions, regulations, and design opportunities. This stage sets the foundation for a strategic, inspired design process.

  • Schematic Design

    Shaping Vision, Honoring Heritage

    We translate ideas into initial concepts and design studies. For historic properties, we balance preservation with modern functionality; for new homes, we craft layouts that maximize aesthetics, flow, and livability. This stage defines the overall vision and design direction.

  • Design Development

    Refining Every Detail with Care

    Concepts evolve into detailed plans, materials, and systems. Historic elements are restored or adapted with sensitivity, while contemporary upgrades are seamlessly integrated. Every decision enhances both beauty and performance.

  • Construction Documents

    Precision for Flawless Execution

    Detailed drawings and specifications guide contractors and consultants. From restoring intricate historic details to executing high-end modern finishes, these documents ensure accuracy, clarity, and fidelity to the design intent.

  • Bidding & Negotiation

    Securing the Right Team for Every Project

    We help select skilled contractors and negotiate agreements that reflect the unique needs of each project. Whether historic restoration specialists or luxury home builders, we ensure craftsmanship, quality, and value are never compromised.

  • Construction Administration

    From Concept to Timeless Reality

    During construction, we oversee progress, coordinate consultants, and address challenges as they arise. Our goal is to ensure every element — historic or contemporary — meets design intent, schedule, and budget, delivering a home that is both exceptional and enduring.
