This is who we are not:

…A budget architect
We provide design services that are high-touch and very participatory. We also like to work collaboratively with our clients and create iterations of designs before settling in on the right solution. One of our most valuable assets is our ability to advocate for you throughout the entire process. We are not the least expensive architect. We are attentive, thorough, and available. Our design services and the expertise behind them come with a certain cost, depending on the size and scope of the project. If you need someone to provide quick stamped plans, you’ll find other designers or architects better suited and more cost-effective.

…A traditional architect
We excel at designing custom modern homes and prefer to design these types of projects. We are not the right fit for you if you’re looking for a classical or traditional style and certainly not the most economical for this project type.

…A small project architect
Although we are capable of doing small renovation projects, such as a kitchen, bath, or small addition, we are not the most cost-effective design professional for those projects. We work best with new construction projects and major renovations/additions.

…A quick solution
Each project has a unique set of project requirements and constraints that oftentimes require multiple rounds of design options to reach the right solution. The design process takes time and should not be rushed. As a small firm providing full services, we insist on giving each project the time and attention that it deserves.  This may mean we cannot start your project right away.

…A draftsperson
Although drafting is part of what we do every day, this is not a stand-alone task that we perform. You can find draftspersons who will be more economical because they focus solely on drafting.

…An interior designer or decorator
Selecting finishes and fixtures is often part of the services that we provide in conjunction with designing a full renovation or new construction project. Fabrics and furniture selections are beyond our comfort zone. You will find interior decorators and designers with more expertise and better resources for these services.
