Exterior Architecture

The exterior of an architectural building is what people see first. How will you enter? Does it fit in with the aesthetic of the street? Does it abide by local zoning regulations? All important questions to consider when designing exterior architecture. In addition to fundamental architectural principles, we consider immediate site, neighborhood surroundings, climate, and other environmental factors such as heating/cooling and daylighting.

Interior Architecture

Interior architecture focuses on the function of interior spaces for human occupancy. We can design a new multi-use space, redesign the interior of an existing building for a different use, and are experienced in custom millwork, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Whatever your programmatic objective, we consider aesthetic, structure, and abide by appropriate building codes to create safe and enjoyable interior living spaces for all.

3D Renderings

We use 3D renderings as a tool to evaluate various design schemes, experiment with materials, conduct sun/shade studies, and contextualize designs in their real-world conditions before construction.

 

3D renderings allow us the convenience of communicating visual aspects of a project in a clear and transparent way throughout various design stages.

Construction Coordination

Our knowledge of city/town regulations and our many years of experience in preparing construction documents is important when obtaining the appropriate permits and authorizations for construction.

 

On site, we represent the client. We evaluate the quality of construction and its compliance with the construction documents, coordinate site meetings, and facilitate any design changes.
