Process

Project definition - In this initial phase we sit down with a client and learn about what their needs are and what they'd like to accomplish.  "Listening" is one of an architect's greatest skills.

Feasibility - We then analyze the proposal and program in the context of zoning and building code.  If applicable we also research wetlands requirements.

Design - Here we produce design proposals for client review. Design is a collaborative process and we have an approach based on iterations.  This can include drawings, models and renderings.

Permitting - We work with local jurisdictions to obtain all necessary building permits to get a project approved and started.

Construction administration - We follow through with the design in the construction process.  This includes periodic site visits and clarifications for the contractor.
