Process

While every project is different,
our design process is universal.

Our process is collaborative, imaginative, and detail-oriented.

We begin by getting to know you, your style, and your visions. From there we consider the bones, overall aesthetic direction, circulation and layout, and architectural elements. We work together to explore finishes, fixtures, and furnishings that are as functional as they are beautiful and breathe life into your project.

We create a complete collection of documents necessary for construction and collaborate with the project team — architects, builders, artisans. From conception to completion we journey alongside you, guide and inform you, and support you throughout the process.

  • The design process is a personal one, and we’d like to get to know you before we begin.

    We’ll meet over coffee, discuss your dreams and desires, and curate an approach specific to you and your project.

  • This phase is all about gathering information — goals, timeline, budget, project team.

    We share design inspiration and napkin sketches, gather floor plans and measurements, and focus on how you want your project to feel.

  • Once we understand parameters, we move into a phase of creative discovery.

    Our program evolves into vision boards that are a collection of concepts, photographs, drawings, and materials.

  • Material palettes start to formalize, drawings push and pull, and design elements are mixed, blended, and layered until we achieve balance and it feels just right.

  • As much as we love dreaming and designing with you, we equally enjoy the work it takes behind the scenes to make it real.

    We compile a collection of documents necessary for construction — floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, scaled elevations, specifications — to ensure design intent is communicated clearly and effectively.

  • While each phase is essential, this may be the most important — and exciting.

    We have regular walk throughs together with the project team during construction and alas, when all is complete, welcome you to your beautiful new home.
