Site Analysis

Whether you are building a new home or renovating an existing one, before we begin designing, we thoroughly the site and all the variables that could impact the design. We determine the sun path, wind patterns and views to find the best siting for the home and consider any existing conditions or requirements specific to your lot. For example, this could be designing around a mature tree, setback requirements, height, size and OCRM restrictions, neighborhood scale and historic context. After more years in architecture and interior design, we have encountered a variety of challenges, providing our team with the aptitude to solve problems quickly and confidently.

Design Development

During the Design Development phase, we work out the conceptual design decisions in more detail. We’ll set out a clear and coordinated description of all aspects of the design, including architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and fire protection systems, providing a basis for construction documents.

3D Modeling and Rendering

Three-dimensional models and renderings mean you can visualize what your home will look like and can also be helpful in understanding view potential. These services can include: massing and presentation models, colored renderings, photo-realistic computer renderings and animation.
