Residential Design & Planning

Interior Space Planning

Good architecture doesn't stop at the exterior walls. We dive deep into how spaces actually function—where natural light falls throughout the day, how people move through rooms, what storage actually makes sense. It's about creating interiors that feel intuitive and work seamlessly with your daily life.

We collaborate with talented interior designers when needed, but we handle the architectural side: structural changes, built-ins, lighting infrastructure, and all the technical stuff that makes beautiful interiors possible. You won't end up with a gorgeous design that's impossible to build.

Construction Administration
Our Role On-Site
  • Regular site visits & inspections
  • Contractor coordination
  • Design clarifications
  • Quality control reviews
  • Change order evaluation
  • Payment certification
  • Final project closeout

Construction Administration

Here's where things get real. You've got beautiful drawings, permits are approved, and now someone's actually got to build this thing. That's where we come in during the construction phase—and trust us, you definitely want an architect involved here.

We're not just drawing pictures and disappearing. We stay with your project through construction, visiting the site regularly to make sure what's being built matches what we designed. When questions come up (and they always do), we're there to answer them quickly so your project doesn't stall.

Problem Solving

Field conditions don't always match the drawings. We work with contractors to find solutions that maintain design integrity while staying on budget.

Your Advocate

We're on your side, making sure you're getting what you paid for. We review contractor submissions and catch issues before they become expensive mistakes.
