WHAT WE DO (and what makes it different)

  • Integrated architecture + interiors: one coordinated team from early feasibility through construction.

  • Process clarity: you’ll always know what happens next, what decisions are coming, and what you’ll receive in each phase.

  • Sustainable, performance-minded design: comfort, durability, indoor air quality, and materials that align with your values.

  • Documentation that protects your investment: drawings, specifications, and construction support that help the work get built as intended.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ‘DRAWINGS ONLY’

Most home and business owners start with a clear idea. The hard part is resolving the interconnected decisions that make it buildable—so construction stays aligned and surprises stay low.

PROJECTS WE’RE BEST AT

Samples of various tiles and stone materials laid out on a white surface, including hexagonal, rectangular, and irregular shapes, along with some tile spacers and a measuring tool.

We’re a great fit for homeowners who want a thoughtful, cohesive result and value a collaborative process.

Typical project types:

  • Whole-home renovations and gut remodels

  • Additions that require careful planning (layout, structure, permitting)

  • New construction with strong site/context response

  • Kitchens and baths when they’re part of a larger plan (or require significant reconfiguration)

MINIMUM GOOD-FIT PROJECT

Our best-fit projects typically have:

  • A scope that benefits from real design planning + documentation (not solely documentation)

  • A budget that supports quality execution and professional coordination

As a rule of thumb, we’re usually a fit when the project budget is $50k+, and the scope requires design decisions across multiple systems (layout, structure, envelope, lighting, cabinetry, finishes).

HOW WE WORK (HIGH LEVEL)

Our work is organized into clear phases, each with specific deliverables and decision points.

  1. Predesign: feasibility, site/context, early constraints, permitting approach

  2. Schematic Design: concepts, layouts, early budget alignment

  3. Design Development: detailed design decisions, coordinated materials/systems

  4. Construction Documents: technical drawings and specifications for permitting and pricing

  5. Construction Administration: site visits, submittals/RFIs, quality control support

If you like knowing what’s coming and prefer a calm, organized process, you’ll feel at home here.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU (to make the process work)

Great projects are a partnership. We’re a strong fit when you can:

  • Make timely decisions (we’ll guide you with clear options)

  • Share budget and timeline constraints early

  • Stay engaged during key decision windows

  • Respect the value of detailed design and documentation


WHO WE’RE NOT THE BEST FIT FOR (and that’s okay!)

We may not be the right team if you:

  • Want to skip phases or move straight to construction without documentation

  • Prefer to hire separate teams for architecture and interiors without a single point of coordination

  • Have a design and are purely looking for documentation

  • Are looking for the lowest-cost design option or want to minimize design time

  • Want us to “just pick finishes” without addressing layout/function/performance

  • Expect immediate construction starts without permitting and lead-time realities

  • Prefer a process with minimal collaboration or frequent last-minute changes


WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

If this sounds like your style, here’s the best next step:

  • Step 1: Send an inquiry with your location, scope, budget range, and timeline.

  • Step 2: Site Intake or Intro Conversation to confirm fit and clarify goals.

  • Step 3: Proposal + kickoff (predesign retainer) if we’re aligned.
