What We Do

Services That Actually Make Sense

We're not about cookie-cutter solutions. Each project gets the attention it deserves - whether you're building your dream home or reimagining a city block.

Residential Architecture Design

Let's be honest - your home should feel like YOU, not some glossy magazine spread. We work closely with families to create spaces that actually work for how you live, not just how they look on Instagram.

  • Custom home design from scratch
  • Additions & extensions
  • Renovation planning
  • Multi-family housing

Commercial Building Planning

Commercial projects need to balance aesthetics with straight-up functionality. We've done everything from boutique retail spaces to office complexes, always keeping an eye on what makes business sense.

  • Office & workspace design
  • Retail & hospitality
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Feasibility studies

Sustainable Design Consulting

Sustainability isn't just a checkbox for us - it's kinda the whole point. We help clients navigate green building standards, energy efficiency, and making choices that'll matter 50 years from now.

  • LEED certification guidance
  • Energy modeling & analysis
  • Material selection consulting
  • Passive design strategies

Urban Planning & Development

Cities are living, breathing things. Our urban planning work focuses on creating neighborhoods where people actually want to spend time - not just pass through on their way somewhere else.

  • Master planning
  • Zoning & regulatory navigation
  • Community engagement
  • Site analysis & selection

Interior Space Design

Good architecture doesn't stop at the walls. We dive into how spaces flow together, how light moves through rooms throughout the day, and yeah - making sure it all looks pretty damn good too.

  • Space planning & layouts
  • Material & finish selection
  • Lighting design
  • Custom furniture coordination

Historic Building Renovation

Old buildings have stories to tell. We specialize in breathing new life into heritage structures while respecting what made them special in the first place. It's a delicate balance, but that's what makes it interesting.

  • Heritage designation support
  • Adaptive reuse planning
  • Restoration & preservation
  • Modern systems integration

How We Actually Work

No two projects are identical, but here's the general flow of how we tackle things. Think of it as a roadmap, not a rulebook.

01

Discovery Call

We chat about your vision, budget, timeline - the real stuff. No sales pitch, just a genuine conversation about whether we're a good fit.

02

Site Analysis

We dig into your site's quirks - sun angles, neighborhood context, zoning weirdness. This groundwork saves headaches later on.

03

Design Phase

Here's where the magic happens. Sketches, models, revisions. We'll work together until the design feels right - not just looks right.

04

Implementation

Permits, construction docs, contractor coordination - we handle it. You'll know what's happening every step of the way.

What You're Probably Wondering

These are the questions that come up in pretty much every first meeting. Figured we'd tackle them upfront.

Honestly? It varies like crazy. A simple residential renovation might start around $15K for architectural services, while a custom home or commercial project could be $50K+. We typically charge 8-15% of construction costs, depending on complexity. The consultation's free though, so we can give you a real number once we know what you're after.

For a residential project, you're looking at roughly 2-4 months from kickoff to construction-ready drawings. Commercial stuff can take 4-8 months or more. Permitting adds time too - that's usually 2-6 months depending on your municipality. We'll give you a realistic timeline during consultation based on your specific project.

We're architects, not builders - but we work closely with contractors throughout construction. We can help you find a good builder if you don't have one lined up, review bids, answer questions during construction, and do site visits to make sure things match the plans. Some clients want full construction administration, others just want us available for questions. Your call.

Absolutely. Some clients come with Pinterest boards and sketches, others show up with a blank slate. Both are totally fine. We'll take whatever inspiration you've got and develop it into something buildable and, y'know, structurally sound. Your ideas are the starting point - we just make them work in the real world.

Two things: you save money long-term on utilities, and it just feels better to live/work in. Good passive design costs almost nothing extra upfront but cuts energy bills significantly. Higher-end stuff like solar or geothermal has longer payback periods, but we'll help you figure out what makes financial sense. Plus, building codes are getting stricter anyway - might as well future-proof now.
