OUR PROCESS
PHASE 1: SCHEMATIC DESIGN
We begin by understanding your project goals, brand, and vision. Through collaborative discussions, we create design concepts that are illustrated with sketches, images, and other media to capture the essence of your project. Our design-build approach ensures that even in these early stages, we’re considering the feasibility of execution, material sourcing, and potential fabrication to ensure a streamlined process as we move forward..
PHASE 2: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
We translate the approved schematic design into a detailed 3D model that captures the project’s intent and character. In collaboration with Handbuilt, we integrate custom elements like furniture, fixtures, and finishes from the start. During this phase, we select materials, lighting, hardware, and artwork, providing samples for review. Balancing aesthetics, function, and budget, we ensure every design choice is purposeful and cost-effective. Our design-build process with Handbuilt enables tailored fabrication solutions that maintain quality and vision within budget.
PHASE 3: INTERIOR DESIGN CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
In this phase, we develop detailed construction documents that guide the building process. These documents include comprehensive plans, elevations, and specifications for all aspects of the design. Our design-build approach means that we also provide detailed fabrication drawings for custom elements from Handbuilt. This integration ensures that design intent is clearly communicated, allowing for seamless transitions from concept to construction while maintaining quality control and project cohesion.
PHASE 4: CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
During the construction phase, we conduct periodic site visits to ensure the project is being executed according to the design intent. Our role as a design-build firm means we’re not just overseeing the construction; we’re actively involved in answering questions, addressing issues, and making adjustments as needed to ensure everything is built to specification. Close coordination with Handbuilt also allows for timely delivery and installation of custom elements, ensuring the final result aligns with both aesthetic and functional goals.
