Our Process
Our process is best understood as a house taking shape over time. Beginning as a simple box, each phase slowly adds depth and refinement—from determining the scale of the project to deciding interior details and finally construction itself. More details emerge at each stage until the final product is revealed: a thoughtfully crafted, beautiful home. A masterpiece shaped by vision and collaboration.
01
House Planning
This first step of the process is all about determining the final scope of your project. During this phase, we gather all the information needed to understand your goals and bring your vision to life. Is it an addition? A new build? A remodel? We then explore ideas through conceptual floor plans, exterior studies, and design inspiration. Together, we make the big-picture decisions first, creating a clear roadmap for the rest of the process. Once the concept is finalized, we use these schematic drawings to obtain preliminary pricing from a contractor and confirm the project aligns with your budgetary requirements before moving into the next phase.
02
Architecture
With the project scope defined, we begin shaping the building or space itself. Floor plans, elevations, structural considerations, and key design details take form through client meetings and collaborative back-and-forth. We thoughtfully refine the architectural function of your home—how it sits on the land, how light moves through it, and how each space connects to the next—while coordinating with your contractor and any required consultants. By the end of this phase, you'll have a detailed set of sketches and proposed floor plans ready for permit submission and construction, ensuring everyone is working from the same vision.
03
Interiors
With the architecture established, our attention then turns inward. During this phase, we present mood boards and 3D views to help visualize the design as we thoughtfully select materials, finishes, fixtures, lighting, cabinetry, and other custom details that define your space and bring it to life. Together, we'll create an aesthetic that reflects your lifestyle while carefully considering how each space feels and functions. By the end of this phase, your contractor will have the detailed drawings and specifications needed to bring the design to life exactly as intended.
04
Construction
This is where your vision comes to life! As construction begins, we remain an active part of the process, working closely with your contractor to ensure every detail is executed as intended. We'll answer questions, review drawings, make site visits, and collaborate to resolve any challenges that arise along the way. Our continued involvement helps ensure nothing gets lost in translation between the initial house planning and what gets built, giving you confidence that your project is being carried out with the same level of care and attention that went into its design. Then comes the best part—seeing your dream home become a reality.
