Conceptual Design
We start with an exploration of the project site along with the history of the area and target market. Next we craft a narrative based on our understanding of the brand, client, and ownership. This foundation creates a story to which each design decision is reflected upon.
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.
