Residential design
An integral part of architecture focused on creating spaces that make the building both functional and aesthetically appealing. Includes houses, apartments, condos, and anywhere else where people reside.
Commercial design
Addresses the issues concerning the choices of building materials, plumbing and power systems, the layout and placement of interior walls, and the coordination of communications with construction and the service providers.
Office design
We consider architectural space as an extension of the human body. It goes beyond the physical, practical concerns and takes into account the psychological and emotional well-being of people who will be using the space.

Our Process
Architectural programming is the thorough and systematic evaluation of the interrelated values, goals, facts, and needs of the client and the surrounding community. During programming, your architect will gather information on your building site or existing project (if you are remodeling).
Once the requirements of the project are determined via the programming process, the design phase begins. Your architect gives shape to your vision through drawings. The architect provides a preliminary evaluation of the program, schedule and construction budget developed in the pre-design phase and prepares schematic design drawings illustrating the project to review with the owner.
The beginning of design development (DD) is a logical extension of schematic design. In this phase the architect will translate the design of a project from the realm of ideas to physical form. DD tasks build on the approved schematic design to reach a level of completeness that demonstrates the project can be built. The schematic design is overlaid with more detailed information obtained from consultants and team members.
Continuing the design process, the architect prepares drawings suitable for permit submittal and construction which are referred to as construction drawings (CDs). These drawings are an instrument of communicating the project to those who will be involved in the construction of your home; the CDs set the parameters for the building process.
