Design Process |
Design Process -1 |
Uniquely Designed & Client Tailored Architecture |
1) Complimentary onsite first meeting |
2) Architect's proposal for services |
3) Documentation of existing conditions |
4) Design development phase |
On site meeting for architect to walk through the proposed project site and evaluate the existing building. Owner explains what work they would like to have done and the type of project to be built. Architect reviews site plan to verify the existing building locations and lot line setbacks. Architect also reviews the buildings flood certificate for the first floor elevation compared to the required base flood elevation. Scope of project is discussed, if the architect has any concerns about what is proposed he will inform the owner. At this time any additional information and questions about the firm will be answered. Having a photo file of architectural details from other buildings showing the different spaces, elements, details and style of architecture the client is looking for, is also very helpful to the architect. |
Architect prepares and delivers a proposal for architectural services for the proposed project. The architect's proposal covers the scope of the project, phases and the architect's fees for the project. After the owners review and approve the contract for architectural services. Then when a signed copy and required retainer is received by the architect the project continues as follows. |
For renovations and additions, if correct and to scale drawings of the existing building are not available; I will measure and photograph the existing building as required. Then prepare existing condition drawings at 1/4" = 1'-0" scale of the floor plans and two elevations. |
3) Schematic design |
In the design development phase the refinement of the design continues. At this time interior and exterior materials, finishes and details are chosen. Notes are made for the project manual. Design developement drawing which are 1/4"= 1'-0" hardline drawings of the floor plans and all four elevations, are sent to the owners for review. The architect meets with the client to review the design developement drawings at the site or office to discuss the project. After any requested changes to the design are made and with the clients final approval of the floor plans and elevations the project moves on the construction document phase. |

The architect takes the information provided by the client and works out the schematic (or first) designs that best fullfills the scope and program of the project. These designs are provided as schematic design sketches at 1/4"= 1'-0"scale of the floor plans and two elevations to the owner. After the owner has reviewed the sketches the architect will meet with the client at the site or office to review and discuss the design. As required the schematic designs will be revised and submitted to the owner for additional reviews as required to refine the design. After the schematic design is approved the project moves to the design development phase. |
These existing condition drawings will be used to generate correct to scale schematic designs of the proposed project including all found elements and conditions. |
If a variance is required by the zoning board of adjustment for the project. I can provide documentation of the proposed design to the board of adjustment for their review. Also I can be available at the zoning board meeting as the architect of record, to answer any questions regarding the design and help support your case. |
