My design process involves first analyzing the site and its surroundings to understand the context of the project. Then, I develop conceptual designs and work with the client to refine the design until it meets their vision and needs. From there, I move into schematic design, design development, and construction documentation.
Certainly, I have a portfolio of previous work that showcases my experience in designing similar projects. I can walk you through those projects to give you a sense of my design style and approach.
I can research and provide information on local zoning and building code requirements and ensure that the design complies with all relevant regulations.
I can incorporate sustainable design practices into the project, such as energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and passive solar design. I can also recommend and specify products and materials that have a lower environmental impact.
I believe in balancing aesthetics and functionality to create a design that meets both the client's vision and functional requirements. I will work closely with the client to understand their design preferences and functional needs and ensure that both are met in the final design.
I will create a realistic budget and timeline for the project based on the scope of work and the client's needs. I will also provide regular updates on the budget and timeline throughout the design process.
I welcome client involvement throughout the design process and will provide opportunities for input and feedback. Ultimately, the client's approval is required for major decisions and milestones.
