A Thoughtful Process Designed Around You
Building or transforming a home is a major moment in your life. Our process is designed to guide you with clarity, creativity, and confidence—from the first conversation to the final walk-through. Every step is intentional, transparent, and rooted in genuine collaboration.
Section 1 - Welcome Guide
Your introduction to who we are and how we work.
What to Expect
When you first connect with us, we send you our Welcome Guide—a simple, well organized overview of our studio, our design philosophy, and the process we follow to help bring your project to life. It explains what you can expect as we move forward, how we structure our work together, typical timelines, and the principles that guide every decision we make.
The goal is to replace uncertainty with confidence. Instead of deciphering industry jargon or guessing what comes next, you’ll have a clear, friendly foundation for what it’s like to work together.

Once you’ve had a chance to explore the Welcome Guide and we’ve connected for an introductory call, we begin guiding you into the heart of the process.
Section 2 - The Design Process
A Clear Path From Vision to Reality
We guide you step-by-step so the experience stays grounded, organized, and enjoyable.
How it Works
Designing a home should feel exciting—not overwhelming. Our Design Process document walks you through each phase in natural, approachable language, showing exactly how your project moves from idea to concept to a fully realized set of construction drawings.
We outline the role of everyone involved—our team, you, and the general contractor—so expectations are transparent and communication stays strong. Each phase is broken into manageable pieces, giving you a clear understanding of important milestones, decisions, and what’s happening behind the scenes.
This structured, thoughtful process empowers you to make confident decisions and remain closely connected to your project every step of the way.
Before any drawings begin, we take time to understand you—not just your project. That understanding becomes the lens through which the design takes shape.
Section 3 - Pre-Design Questionnaire
Where your Story Shapes the Design
The first step toward a home that feels authentically you.
Why it Matters
Before design begins, we send you our Pre-Design Questionnaire—a detailed yet accessible set of questions designed to uncover what truly matters to you. Beyond the practical considerations, we want to understand your day-to-day rhythms and routines, your values, the way you gather, cook, rest, and live.
Your responses help us build a foundation that is intentionally aligned with who you are as people—not just homeowners.
Once you complete the questionnaire, we meet to review it together before beginning Schematic Design—the phase where design truly begins and pencil meets paper. This conversation sets the tone for everything that follows, ensuring that the project is as personal, functional, and meaningful as the home you envision.
Our step-by-step process keeps you informed, empowered, and supported from idea to construction.
Your values, lifestyle, and goals become the foundation of a design that’s truly shaped around you.
