OUR APPROACH

We believe that communication is the key to the success of any project

At the outset of each project we listen carefully to the client’s vision of their project. From this vision we develop a master plan that represents the best possible solution on the site. We analyze such critical elements as views, privacy, natural light and budgets. If we are brought into the process early we will conduct a site feasibility study prior to a client making a commitment on purchasing the property.

Generating alternative design solutions is critical to our approach to insure the client achieves the highest and best use.

Conserving materials and resources is very important considering as much as 40% of the worlds raw materials are used in buildings. Through Karl’s Leed certification he is able to advise on green building issues so that the client can make informed choices.

We work for many different types of clients, always in diverse settings. Therefore, the appearance of our architecture varies widely to reflect the vision of the client and location.

To give life to the design and to help the client in fully understanding the dream we use a variety of mediums. Although we rely on the computer to manage a variety of project sizes and complexity it is with the use of models and hand renderings that have proved to be most beneficial for the client and approving authorities.

We work with a variety of specialty consultants including structural engineers, landscape architects and interior designers to insure a comprehensive approach to the design.

Generating alternative design solutions is critical to our approach to insure the client achieves the highest and best use.

For projects that require variances, development permits or re-zoning we have a depth of experience in presenting and marketing our designs to the differing jurisdictional agencies. We bring to our clients the range of service that is required for success.

We have developed a strong reputation for producing a thorough and concise set of drawings. This has proved beneficial in terms of speedy permit approvals, better pricing information from the contractor and in expedited construction schedules.

We have a variety of contractors that we have worked with successfully in the past. It is our belief that the contractor has to be selected carefully to suit the type and budget of the job that is being undertaken.

Poor construction administration can result in extended schedules and increased cost. We have a long history of working successfully with contractors and their suppliers to insure effective project delivery.
