OUR DESIGN PROCESS

DISCOVERY PHASE

We begin our process by learning about your project — what your goals are, your business, and your design tastes. You’ll learn about our process, pricing, and what to expect while working with our design team.

  1. Fill Out Design Questionnaire

  2. Initial Paid Consultation or Virtual Meeting

  3. Scope of Work Development & Design Fee Proposal

SCHEMATICS PHASE

The schematics phase is crucial to the completed design and involves floor plan, exterior, and overall concept development. This will determine the overall flow and feel of your project. This phase can take anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months depending on the size and scope of the project.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE

After we’ve decided on the general design, next comes the refinement. Design development takes the schematics and brings them to life with material selections, interior detailing, millwork details, and further refinement of your final floor plan and exterior design.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION PHASE

After the design refinement phase, our team puts together a final, construction ready set of plans along with a comprehensive design package. This outlines all of the visual and technical design details and sets our team up for success once construction begins.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

The final phase where all the magic happens!

During this phase we coordinate with contractors, tradespeople, and vendors to make sure the design makes it from paper to reality throughout the construction process. Afterwards, if desired, we add finishing touches with furniture and décor.
