It's time for us to get to know you. This first phase is all about gathering information about you and your project goals. Our method is to conduct two major programming sessions with you. One will focus primarily on the site, the architectural style and the spacial components.The other focuses on spacial functions and requirements, interior themes and color / material preferences. The goal is to garner a firm understanding of how you live, from the daily routines of life, to how you celebrate special occasions. Guiding you through a thorough assessment process, we attain a clear understanding of who you are and how your new design will encourage you to flourish.

To prepare for this process some bring a blank page and an open mind.  Many people go through magazines and gather pictures that appeal to them.  Other people create wish lists, sketch plans, or drive through neighborhoods they like and take pictures.  All of these techniques fit into and begin the process of guiding  you through the journey of discovery that will lead us all to fulfilling your wishes for your new home.

We provide survey and soil analysis procurement, site analysis, code research and existing structure documentation to complete this phase.  With our complete assessment we are equipped to create a schematic design that is spot on, a design that is an accurate reflection of you, a design that requires little modification and moves efficiently into the design development phase.
