What To Expect
Every home we design is one-of-a-kind, but our process is always clear, collaborative, and suited to the needs of our clients. Here’s an overview of what to expect.
-
We begin by learning about you and your site—your goals, routines, values, and vision. This shapes every decision that follows.
-
Through early studies and sketches, we explore layout, form, and flow—balancing site, space, and experience.
-
We refine the architecture: materials, proportions, light, and technical detailing—bringing clarity and character to the design.
-
We produce detailed drawings and assist through permitting and construction—staying involved to help your home come to life as intended.
Investment Overview
We offer full-service architectural design, tailored to the scale and complexity of each home. Our fees are typically based on a percentage of construction cost (usually 8–12%).
Because no two projects are alike, we take a personalized approach to pricing—grounded in transparency, clear communication, and your project goals. Whether you’re building a retreat in the mountains or remodeling a city home, we’ll walk you through what to expect at every step.
