We approach schematic design through the eyes of our client.

Our Personalized assessment process ensures that schematic design is not guided solely by our architects' vision but by a clear understanding of who you are and how you want your home to function.

In this very exciting phase of the project your words, images, and personalities blend with our talents and experience to bring your home to life in a tangible way. Presenting rendered site and floor plans, we enable you to understand the flow of the site, the individual rooms, and their relation to each other. You see furnishings, window locations, flooring materials, cabinetry locations, plumbing fixtures, appliance locations and our vision of ceiling design.  To complete the picture you see a hand rendering of a prominent exterior elevation which conveys the architectural style, materials and color palette.  Window types and exterior details, while in their infancy, are now on paper so you can begin to understand what it will feel like to be home.

The collaboration between owner and architect continues as we work with you to fine tune the design and find a balance between programmatic needs, budget, aesthetics and site attributes.
