Services
Schematic Design
Our schematic design process transforms client visions into preliminary architectural concepts. We create detailed floor plans, elevations, and 3D renderings to visualize the project's form and function. This phase establishes spatial relationships, material selections, and budget parameters while maintaining compliance with local zoning regulations.
Construction Documents
We produce comprehensive construction documentation packages including detailed drawings and technical specifications. These documents ensure accurate bidding, secure necessary permits, and guide contractors through precise implementation of design intent while meeting all building code requirements.
Construction Administration
Our team provides ongoing construction administration services to ensure design integrity throughout the building process. We conduct site visits, review contractor submittals, and address technical questions to maintain quality control and project timelines.
3D Rendering
We create photorealistic 3D renderings that help clients visualize completed projects before construction begins. These digital models showcase material selections, lighting effects, and spatial relationships to refine design decisions and facilitate stakeholder approvals.
Master Planning
Our master planning services integrate architectural vision with site-specific considerations. We develop comprehensive plans for large-scale developments that optimize land use, circulation patterns, and environmental sustainability while maintaining aesthetic cohesion across multiple structures.

I have Built several homes designed by Steve and I have to say they are some of the most beautiful designs I have completed. From a builders perspective his plans are very easy to read with the quality and detail needed to bid out and complete a high end custom home. Thank you Steve for providing such a quality service to be proud of.
