Process
The Five Phases
Programming
Gathering information to understand the goals, constraints, and needs of the project.
- —Client interviews / vision discussion
- —Site analysis (zoning, setbacks, environmental constraints)
- —Budget review and project feasibility
- —Identify spaces, sizes, and adjacencies
- —Define functional goals and priorities
- —Create a written program outlining requirements

Schematic Design
Conceptual ideas translated into rough plans and visuals.
- —Develop basic floor plan options
- —Explore massing and layout of the structure
- —Initial 3D studies or conceptual renderings
- —Review design options with client for feedback
- —Preliminary zoning/code check
- —Establish general design direction

Design Development
Refining the schematic design into a more detailed and buildable plan.
- —Finalize floor plans, elevations, and building layout
- —Develop material palettes and finishes
- —Coordinate with consultants (structural, MEP, etc.)
- —Refine exterior and interior architectural details
- —Create updated 3D models or visualizations
- —Final client review and sign-off before CDs

Construction & Permit Documentation
Design translated into detailed drawings used for permitting and construction.

- —Coordinate with consultants and integrate all disciplines
- —Address building code and life safety requirements
- —Submit for permit review and respond to comments
