How we work

A clear, predictable process designed to take your project from idea to keys-in-hand

Our six-phase approach

Every project moves through the same six phases. Each one ends with a clear deliverable and your sign-off before we move forward.

01
DISCOVERY

Listening & site study

We start by understanding you โ€” your goals, your constraints, your sense of the place. We walk the site, study the climate, and document everything that will inform the design ahead.

02
CONCEPT

Schematic design

The first drawings emerge. Massing studies, floor plans, and material directions. You'll see two or three distinct directions and we'll refine the one that resonates.

03
DEVELOPMENT

Design development

The chosen concept is detailed. Window placements, finishes, fixtures, and structural systems are all resolved. Renderings let you walk through the project before it exists.

04
DOCUMENTATION

Construction documents

The full set of drawings and specifications a contractor needs to build your project. Permit applications are submitted in parallel.

05
CONSTRUCTION

Build & oversight

We stay on through construction. Site visits, contractor coordination, and design clarifications keep the build true to the drawings.

06
HANDOVER

Walkthrough & closeout

Final punch list, owner orientation, and a documented handover. We check in at six and twelve months to make sure everything is performing as designed.
