The Design Process

Envision

Programming – defining the parameters of your project.  Together with you we identify your needs, for now and the future.  This phase not only establishes and documents your general space and furniture requirements, but does so through the lens of your company culture.

Fit Plan – an initial space and layout plan that illustrates how your company “fits” into a proposed space.

What is unique about your organization? How do you interact with one another? Or better yet, how do you want to interact with one another? Who is your clientele and why have they chosen you? These are the first questions we ask. Programming is more than an exercise in counting cabinets; rather it manifests the heart of our clients business. We recognize our success is driven by our clients' successes.

Advance

Design Development – brings the program and fit plan together into a comprehensive and detailed solution.  Creating the elevations / floor plans / ceiling plans that bring your space to life.

Finish Specification – Sourcing the materials that achieve all of your goals.

Furniture Specification – Finding the furniture solution that is right for your people, whether they are clients or employees.

This is the fun part!  Sketching, designing and coloring! We begin to creatively translate your vision into a compelling interior space. During this process we think in terms of form, function, materials, and relationships.  Everything works together to achieve your ultimate vision.

Realize

Construction Documents -  Completed drawings for the contractor to build from.

Construction Administration – Working with the contractor to make sure the intent of your project design is effectively realized.  We actively team with all involved parties to make sure that construction “challenges” become opportunities.

At last the space comes to life before your eyes. The construction process can prove to be challenging, but that is why we are here to see the process through. Interior designers are master problem solvers, combining data about people, furniture and dollars to create an evocative functional space.
