Our design process

Every custom project begins with a consultation to understand your vision and goals. We then produce initial sketches along with a material and mood look-book to explore design direction and finishes. After approval, we complete the final design - this includes architectural-style renderings and a schematic plan set. Once the design is approved, we begin building. This same process is used for all of our custom builds.
