PRE-DESIGN
The process begins by understanding the client’s desires and needs. I actively listen to the client's vision for their home, how they intend to use the spaces both presently and in the future, and the desired ambiance for different areas. This initial phase establishes the goals and direction for the entire design process.
DESIGN
The design phase initiates with hand sketches of floor plans, serving to define the functional layout and character of the home. Multiple floor plan options and styles are explored to ensure we meet the client’s needs optimally
As the floor plan takes shape, I transition to hand sketches of the exterior. Collaborating with the owner, we explore various styles, discussing details such as materials, windows, and other elements to create a clear, unified, and timeless exterior.
3D VISUALIZATION
Refining the sketches into a more detailed representation, I create a 3D model that enables clients to visualize the home comprehensively — from every angle, inside and out. This model aids in making design decisions related to materials, colors, and interior furniture layouts.
PERMIT & CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
As the design evolves and the owner approves the floor plans and exterior aesthetics of the home, the project enters its final stages of design and documentation. All necessary drawings and details are completed during this phase. Collaboration with other specialists, such as structural engineers and storm engineers, is integral at this stage to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the design.
The drawings are prepared to meet the requirements for permit submission in accordance with the regulations of your local jurisdiction.
