Feasibility
Study -We
can provide professional assistance in determining the feasibility of building
on a particular site. Zoning and land use restrictions, views, access issues
and effects of site conditions on building costs are just some of the areas we
can assist you with. The best time to determine the suitability of a piece of
land is before you purchase it and our expertise can help you make the best
purchase decision.
Site
Analysis-Examining the building site in this detail
allows us to design homes that fit their unique location while working within
municipal zoning regulations.
Programming-The programming phase is one of the
most critical in every project. During this phase we will work with you to
determine the spaces you would like in your new home, define the most important
relationships between those spaces, and ascertain how you will use the spaces.
The time taken to carefully evaluate and discuss our client's needs and desires
during the programming phase often results in home designs that capture
everything for which our clients are looking, in the first iteration.
Preliminary
Design-The preliminary
design phase is usually second only to moving into a completed home in terms of
excitement and anticipation. Here we will take the information gathered during
the programming phase and sketch plan concepts. When a scheme is chosen it will
be refined into scaled floor plans. Sketch elevations and sections illustrating
the conceptual vertical relationships will often accompany these plans.
Design
Development-When you are satisfied with the
preliminary design, the project will move into design development. We refine the floor plans, exterior
elevations and building sections. Exterior finish materials will be indicated
and significant trim concepts and architectural details may be shown at this
time.
Construction
Documents-We take pride in producing complete
and accurate construction documents. So construction can move smoothly and
easily.When your new home design is complete, the construction
documents will be printed and made ready for lodging with the relevant government departments.
Advanced
Visualizations - (Additional Fee)
We have been recognized both locally
and nationally for the quality of our computer generated images and animations.
We create a 3d computer model of nearly every project we design. We will also
present detailed, computer generated animations showing the exterior of your
home including terrain and vegetation. These exterior animations allow our
clients to more fully understand the proposed design and visualize what their
house will look like when it is built. Additional views, including interior
stills or animations, can be provided to allow you to better understand the
design of your new home.(Not included in construction plan fee).
