DESIGN PROCESS
A GUIDE TO WORKING WITH US

Let's outline the steps for designing your home. This process is designed to be enjoyable, engaging, and collaborative. It includes sketches, drawings, computer models, a mix of good and not-so-good ideas thorough analysis, and a sense of humor. Following each step is crucial for optimal outcomes.

Effective design involves synthesizing various ideas into a cohesive whole. Although the steps are presented in a linear manner, the path to the final design is often non-linear. It's an iterative process, evolving from initial concepts to a finished product. The end result isn't predetermined; it emerges through a dedicated adherence to the design process.

We find the custom design process exciting because we collectively shape it based on your specific situation and needs. In the end, you'll have a well-designed home and the shared experience of crafting it together.

The phases follow a step-by-step order, each building on the work completed and agreed upon in the previous phase. We begin with broad concepts and progressively fine-tune the design to be more detailed. This structured approach helps organize the numerous decisions made throughout the process into manageable parts.
