PRE-DESIGN
+ 3D VISUALIZATION
Sometimes you need to know what the possibilities are, how big a building will appear to be on your lot, how much the design will cost. By doing an Initial Deign phase, we can determine project constraints, path to approval or final look of the project. We can generate floor plans, accurate square footages and high-design project renderings.
We can take the guessing out of your proposed development, offering preliminary Architectural Services without requiring a full-service contract.
STANDALONE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES

WHAT CAN I BUILD?
Need to understand Zoning, Massing, Code and Climate Constraints? We offer standalone Feasibility Studies and Pre-Design, so you know exact square footages and a ROM of construction cost.
Time Required: 1 Week
-
WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE?
Sometimes project renderings are needed to secure funding in early rounds, before the project is fully designed. We offer 1-week visualization and rendering services, including a live collaborative design session.
Time Required: 10 Days
-
I NEED A FLOOR PLAN.
Need to know if it’s possible to fit your dream house plan on your lot? Want to explore design ideas before committing to full design service? We offer standalone Schematic Design services to create your ideal layout.
Time Required: 4-6 Weeks
-
VR EXPORTS
We can create VR exports for a full experience of your proposed design. This is useful for immersive presentations where a physical experience of the design is needed. Exports can contain fixed viewpoints or allow for free exploration of the 3d model.
Time Required: 4 Weeks
FEASIBILITY STUDY
WHAT CAN I BUILD?
Step 1: A Zoom review of project location and desired program
Step 2: Research into all project constraints including Building, Zoning and and Code Overlays or Special Use Districts.
