What excites you? What are your dreams? What do you hope to prioritize? Would you like to feel better? Our initial consultation is where we get to know each other, gain perspective on your needs, desires, and ideas for your project. We ask questions, collect data and then we focus on what is exciting for our clients, your aspirations, and weave them into our creative vision to manifest them into reality. Dreams are important, so don’t leave any out.
We collaborate throughout the rest of the project and communicate on our progress. Our company works on new construction projects from conception to completion on residential, commercial, community and philanthropic architecture. We come on at the start of each project to conceive the vision of what it looks and feels like.
Throughout the process, we elaborate with more detail and drawings for construction, so the contractors and other companies we work with comply with the vision. We take this as our guide, everyone is aboard, and our company leads the full design. We also consult on clients or investors potential dream projects, and help envision their architecture.
On all projects, we team up with energy, and sustainability experts to make our architecture energy-efficient and environmentally-conscious. We lead full design on dream projects, brand new construction, visualization for potential ideas, sustainability installations in existing or new projects, interior design and exterior design renovations.
