You've searched the web. You've pinned your favorite photos on Pinterest and created an awesome idea book in Houzz. You know what you want, but where do you go from there?

In a FREE consultation, we can meet to discuss your project, budget, site orientation and initial design ideas. This is a good chance for you to get to know us and to help us better understand the scope of your project.

Should you decide to move forward with design, we'll help you through the process of putting your ideas down on paper. There's no need for you to create a layout; just bring your ideas and, like pieces of a puzzle, we put the puzzle together. Your dreams can be as grand or as modest as your lifestyle.

We will listen, take notes, and listen some more. We ask detailed questions like, “Dishwasher to the right or left of the sink?” and “What size is the piano you mentioned and what room will it be in?” All these details are discussed early on so that the design will reflect the little things that make this home uniquely yours. 

You’ve dreamed, we have listened, and now reality sets in…you want a walk out basement, but your site is nearly level. You’ve always dreamed of having an entire room dedicated to your hobby, but your budget can barely handle the necessary square footage. We sift through all these tough issues and create the best solutions and compromises, while keeping your dream in mind.

Design is the interpretive process of piecing together all your ideas. We begin by creating the floor plan and exterior elevations, which gives a basis to further refine the design. From there we situate your furniture, revise room sizes, and finalize a functional layout that works for you. Then we tweak the exterior until it fits your vision of home. Most importantly, the house is situated on the lot to conform to local setbacks, take advantage of the best views, and capture the best sunlight.

Once the floor plan design is complete, we will begin working on the interior details of your home. We begin by customizing and dimensioning a detailed kitchen layout focusing on cabinetry function and pre-selection of materials. You can opt for additional interior design services for other areas of the home such as bathroom design, specification of additional interior materials, space planning, 3D renderings of select rooms, and selection of exterior materials. Utilizing this service is efficient and provides the homeowner with accurate costs to build.

Once we have determined the design, layout, and kitchen concept, then we get to work finalizing the construction blueprints and kitchen design. This final blueprint set consists of fully dimensioned and noted floor plans, foundation plan, exterior elevations, window and door sizes, a wall section and site plan. These construction blueprints are ready for permit application and construction and reflect a thoughtfully designed, structurally sound, energy efficient home.

Even when the project is in the hands of the contractor, our job isn’t complete. We consults with the truss supplier to ensure the roof and floor systems are properly engineered, are available to answer questions, and enjoy stopping by the job site to see the construction progress and watch your dream become a reality.
