Pre-Design + Feasibility

Studying the constraints on your project due to the applicable codes, neighboring properties, pedestrian connections, planning commission, and site implications. Reviewing the program, desired scope and how it fits the property, and any TI allowances available.

Conceptual Design

Crafting a narrative based on our understanding of your brand and your desired clientele. We then explore the neighborhood and historical context of your desired location. This foundation creates a story to which each design decision is reflected throughout the various phases of the project.

Schematic Design

Using the concept developed, we weave the narrative into the essential elements of the design including space planning, material palette development, programming, and preliminary FF&E and art direction. This is when the story begins taking shape.

Design Development

Refining the components of the design and solidifying the material palette, lighting, and furniture selections through renderings and physical samples. The intent is to help realize the actual space beyond the narrative in order to document it for permitting and construction.

Permitting

Providing your jurisdiction with the required documentation to obtain a building permit. This includes responding to reviewer comments, updating the drawings as required, and managing the nuances of the permitting process.

Construction Documents

Coordinating with project consultants to create a tailored set of drawings such as floor plans, RCPs, finish plans, FF&E plans, elevations, and details to ensure the design intent is precisely executed. Compiling of material and fixture schedules specific to the design.

FF&E Selections + Specifications

Designing bespoke pieces and sourcing retail selections of casegoods, furnishings, lighting, artwork, and accessories that meet your durability needs and to heighten the client experience. Producing FF&E specifications and outlining the quantities for issuance to a procurement agency or our internal procurement team.

Installation
