Develop Design
Discover the possibilities of your project. Together we can explore the options, challenges and constraints a space presents and set up a solid foundation upon which to build your design. We believe that by doing more investigation upfront, we can fill in the gaps and get you ready to move forward with your project. Let’s chat!
Once you know the possibilities of your space and what kind of obstacles will need to be overcome, you can narrow the options to the one you like best and make an informed decision on the most suitable direction for your project. We can also work with you to secure a preliminary budget range so that you can feel confident moving forward with the design.
Now that all the groundwork has been laid and your project is on the right path to meet your needs and requirements, ideas and possibilities become a detailed design. Solutions to the obstacles and challenges are found, the design is developed, refined and detailed, and all the hundreds of little bits and pieces of a project are brought together into a cohesive package of schedules, details and drawings. A professional set of drawings is essential for purchasing furniture, fixtures and materials, for securing final construction quotes from contractors and builders, for assuring the space is built-out per your vision, and for making your dream space into a real space.
