Process + Services
While each project is unique, this outlines my typical process and offerings:
1Initial Consult
We begin by meeting on-site to discuss your ideas, needs, and dreams for the project - so that I can get a good sense of the existing conditions and design objectives. This meeting enables me to give you a proposal for the project, through the initial schematic design phase and beyond.
2Schematic Design
In schematic design, our collective goal is to outline the scope of the project, based on spatial requirements and potential design solutions, with enough detail to flush out any code implications and to obtain rough estimates. This strategy allows us to hone in on a project that meets your needs and budget, without wasted time and expense.
3Design Development + Construction Docs
After determining the course of the project, we delve deeper into the design and details - working together through the finer points - ultimately resulting in a set of documents that are used for final pricing, permitting, and construction. I manage all necessary consultants and code research as needed during this process.
4Finishes + Fixtures
As part of the base scope, I provide recommendations for the key finish and fixture components of the design. Some clients are interested in being involved in selecting finishes and fixtures, while some prefer me to make selections and provide options for review - I am happy to accommodate your level of desired engagement, and I am always there to guide the way.
5Construction Administration
My assistance continues through construction, acting on your behalf to answer questions and ensure the project is built as designed and intended - resulting in a beautiful and functional finished product.
6Interior Design
This service is available as an independent design offering and may also be combined with a larger project. My interior design services start with understanding how you plan to use the space(s), followed by layout recommendations. This dovetails into selections for furniture, materials, colors, surfaces, finishes, fixtures, lighting, art, and accessories. With this scope of work, I am highly involved in implementation.
