Our design process begins with understanding the context of the site, agency approval requirements and influences of the sun, wind and views. 

​

We study these impacts on the specific site and craft concepts that result in massing studies, functional layout studies and square footage options. All of these help in the formulation of a project scope and in developing a budget and schedule for the ultimate success of each project. 

​

At the same time, we work with each client to understand their specific lifestyle and expectations for the project through a pre-design questionnaire we have developed.

​

We will employ new advances in technology, including virtual reality, to assist our clients in understanding how our documents translate in

3-dimensions, allowing them to "walk through" the home we are designing.

​

Then we work with other local professionals, including contractors, who help create budgets and schedules and consultants well-versed in the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) process, as appropriate to your location.
