Our Approach
We feel it's important that you understand our approach to building and design and hopefully this background will help you better understand our process for overall success.
General Approach
Our job is to balance the dream of what your home can be with the practicalities of making it come true, which means we give you realistic budgets early on before designing details that might have to be discarded later due to cost. The feasibility of every project, whether humble or luxe, hinges on budget, and we want to make sure you are getting the house or remodel you want for the resources you have. To that end, we guide you through a phased process that aligns the scope and budget early on.
Design Direction
We believe there is beauty in pragmatism. That form really does follow function. And that homes injected with modern energy brilliantly support a 21st-century lifestyle. Using a modernist lens, we create a dynamic dialogue between your house and your family’s life today. Whether designing a remodel or new home, our goal is to create a modern living space without losing warmth and richness.
Digital Approach
We embrace technology as integral to our daily operations and critical to delivering exceptional service to our clients. If you’re not that concerned with the specifics, rest assured that we use apps that create efficiencies, help ensure accuracy, enhance communication, and smooth the process for both you and us.
If you like to delve into the details, here you go… We use project-management software you have access to that houses all your project documents, contracts, and both design and construction project schedules. You can view weekly digests of your project and progress photos, and can even see and pay invoices online.
​
Our design software allows us to virtually build your house in 3D, helping you visualize what your spaces will look like and helping us create more accurate cost estimates. During construction, before we close up the walls, we can take 3D photos that create a virtual walk-through of the bones of your house. No more wondering where the studs, plumbing, electrical, ducts, and anything else in the walls actually are.
​
We also try and introduce technology appropriately throughout projects where it makes sense and ideally makes your life easier and your home more enjoyable to live in.
