Architecture
"It is the process and the product of planning, designing,
and constructing buildings. It is art, science, and business."
Architecture
Programming
The purpose of architectural programming is to identify the scope of a design problem. We conduct all the research, collect all data, and guide the decision-making process that identifies the scope of work to be designed. Our emphasis is on gathering and analyzing data early in the process to make the design based on sound decisions. The involvement of all interested parties is crucial at this stage.
Schematic Design
During this stage, we solve the design problem identified through the programming process.
We begin by documenting and analyzing the existing conditions of the site. Then, we research and apply all applicable codes, incorporate all programming data, hold design meetings with the client, and develop schematic floor plans, elevations, and building sections.
Design Development
All building systems are interdependent and need to be identified early in the process. Together with the client and our consulting engineers, we determine the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, conveying, ceiling, and other systems in the project and coordinate among disciplines.
Construction/Permit Documents
Final working drawings and technical specifications are developed based on the approved schematic design and design development package. These documents are used for permitting and building the project. These become the contract documents.
Interior Design
We design interior environments tailored to the client's specific needs and in harmony with the exterior architecture of the building. Our service for Interior Design is not an afterthought or an isolated endeavor; it is an integrated design that unfolds simultaneously during the “whole building design” process. As a result, exterior and interior environments become one seamless experience that evokes a sense of belonging, peace, and harmony for the user.
