realistic 3d Visualization
What if you could walk and look around your home before it was built?
What if you could preview how the sunlight coming into your bedroom will look at 8am on your anniversary?
Or what your view from the couch will look like facing a mountain vista?
We build your project in a 3 dimensional model that is set on your terrain, with real-world coordinates, realistic materials, sunlight and shadows.
You will see your project as the design develops not just with floor plans, but with 3-D renderings, sun and shadow studies, and user-controlled walk through's that you can explore on your computer after our meetings.
Whatever your technology comfort level, we have a visualization for you.
Architecture
Imagine yourself in a space that sparks wonder, inspires you, and brings calm into your life. How would life be different for you in that environment?
We choreograph the routine movements and special moments that make up a day, considering all that is important to you.
We take special care into shaping light - both natural sunlight and artificial lighting - in a way that is unique to your project and to the design as a whole.
“Andrew, you are a really fine designer of living spaces.”
Needs Analysis
Are you building a custom house and wondering, what do I do first? or do you need to renovate but don’t know where to begin? If you don’t start right, you can end up very far away from where you wanted to go.
The first step in any project is an analysis. Why not jump straight into design? For the same reason that a surgeon wouldn’t cut you open before diagnosing the problem.
This important step creates a road map that will guide you through the entire project. Andrew will work with you to determine your goals, priorities, points of opportunity, budget and project feasibility. This is an essential step for any project, be it a custom house, restaurant, or art museum. Your Needs Analysis will enable you to move forward on the project with clarity and confidence.
Are you wondering?
What can you build on your property?
Where can you build it?
How much will it cost?
What is the highest and best use of your land?
Can we divide the lot?
Can you build an ADU on this lot?
What does my HOA allow?
What does my local code and zoning allow?
Most importantly, can you build what YOU want to build on the property? Because maybe you can do a lot of things, but if you can’t do what you want, then it is better to know early.
Interior design
Design From Big Ideas Down to the Doorstops
Architecture doesn’t end at the exterior walls. We take it “down to the doorstops”, creating a holistic environment that makes sense and feels right all the way through.
Kitchen and Bath Design that sparkles and rejuvenates
Lighting Design that lifts your spirit
Color and Texture Coordination that ties spaces together
Built-in furniture and woodwork that give warmth, functionality, and luxury to your daily routine
“I’d be a drowning man sinking slowly into the deep, were you not there as my giant life preserver.”
Construction administration
There’s always questions that arise and surprises that await us. We are available to answer the call. Regularly scheduled meetings with your builder on site will serve to face challenges head on and early.
THE #1 PROJECT PROBLEM
Projects going over time and over budget.
On a daily basis, we see people moving projects into the design phase before the research is started. This is like a doctor starting surgery without a thorough diagnosis or trying to build a house on a bad foundation.
That is why we created the Rapid Project Planning Pack. Now, you have a simple process to help you move through the Research Phase.
If you follow this tool, you will reduce project risk and improve project design.
