Residential design

Kitchens, drawn to be built.

The kitchen is where a remodel is won or lost. We design it first and design it completely: layout, cabinetry, lighting, power and plumbing on one coordinated set of drawings.

01 — Scope

Kitchens first. Then the rest of the house.

Kitchens

The specialty. Most of a remodel’s decisions live here.

  • Layout and work zones
  • Cabinet elevations and sizes
  • Appliance and ventilation planning
  • Lighting in three layers
  • Counters, backsplash and glass

Baths

Small rooms where an inch matters.

  • Wet-area layout and clearances
  • Shower glass and enclosures
  • Vanity and storage elevations
  • Ventilation and lighting

Whole-home

When the plan itself has to change.

  • New openings and wall changes, with an engineer where structure moves
  • Window and door schedule
  • Daylight planning room by room
  • Finish schedule for every space

02 — Process

Four steps, no surprises.

You always know which stage you are in, what you will see next and what it is for.

  1. Step 01

    Consult

    We walk the space, measure it and listen. You tell us how you cook, host and live.

  2. Step 02

    Concept

    Two or three layout directions with plans and material palettes. You choose one to develop.

  3. Step 03

    Drawings

    The chosen design becomes a full set: plans, elevations, electrical, plumbing and schedules.

  4. Step 04

    Build support

    We answer your contractor’s questions, review shop drawings and visit at key stages.

03 — What you receive

One set of drawings. Everything on it.

A typical residential set. Sheets are added or dropped to suit the project.

04 — Portfolio

The work so far lives in drawings.

Residential photographs are added here as projects complete. Until then, the drawings are the honest portfolio: this is exactly what you receive.
