Vision
We envision a future where architecture transcends the art of building to become a foundation for connecting people, communities, and the natural world around us… where the building itself becomes like a living organism responding to the needs and wants of the occupants. A successful building supports and encourages the occupants to interact and more fully explore themselves, each other, and the world around us.
Mission
Our mission is to provide our clients with sustainable and inspiring spaces that respond to and embody the unique values of each client. By blending creativity, cutting-edge technology, and holistic thinking, we seek to create built spaces that fit our clients and their needs. Stunning, responsive, intuitive, and comfortable are all descriptors we seek from our clients when they inhabit one of our spaces.
1. Schematic Design
This phase initiates the project’s design based on the owner's program (or a detailed list of spatial needs), budget, site conditions, and basic code requirements. For remodels or additions, the existing building’s measurements and documentation will be included at this stage. During this phase, the full Project Team, including any necessary consultants, will be brought on board.
2. Design DEVELOPMENT
During this phase, the Project Team will further refine and finalize the design, incorporating the owner's feedback, consultant input, and considering both code requirements and feasibility. The objective is to finalize a design that the client approves, allowing the project to proceed to the next stage. Note: Any additional meetings or revisions to the design after this phase will be considered as extra services.
3. Construction Documents
In this phase, the Project Team will produce the final set of construction documents. These documents are required for bidding, permits, and the construction process. All design elements, code requirements, and engineering services will be thoroughly finalized..
4. Bidding & Permitting
The Project Team will assist the owner in obtaining bids from qualified contractors based on the construction documents. Minor modifications or addenda may be issued as needed. The team will also help with the selection of a general contractor and ensure that all local and national codes are met for permit approval.
5. Construction Administration
Throughout the construction process, site visits and inspections will be conducted to ensure everything is in line with the construction documents. These inspections are essential for preventing contractor mistakes and misinterpretations, ultimately saving the client both time and money.
