Many people appreciate and value the levels of beauty, efficiency and creativity to which an architect can elevate a given space. These people who do choose to use an architect deserve to have their spatial needs met, their individual aesthetic embraced and their budgets respected, a simple set of vital requirements that are sometimes overlooked.
Most people have an underlying fear of architects, both budget- and design-related. They are afraid that their desires will take a back seat to another’s stylistic ambitions and that these uncontrolled leaps of ego will not only bring them farther from their dream, but will cost them more than they originally imagined.
We believe in “The Not So Big Ego,” a departure from architect as sole, independent creator of another’s space. This is fostered from a design process where inspiration comes from the building site and the clients’ wants, needs and personalities as well as the architect’s insight. All parties work together, taking one step at a time, to end up with a project tailored to each client specifically.
Our only style is to carefully listen to, assimilate and interpret our clients’ comments, and then to extract ideas and concepts from them, ones that on some level they already know they love. This guarantees high client satisfaction. Frequent communication and teaming early in the process with honest, talented and efficient builders assures the best chances of their budgets being met. Designing a new space, or renovating an existing one should be a fulfilling experience – fun and creative, and not overwhelming
